Rewilding the Museum - CApE talk by Dehlia Hannah

Join us for a thought-provoking talk, Rewilding the Museum, where we delve into how artists and curators are reshaping exhibition spaces to reflect new understandings of nature. 🖼️✨

Art museums have traditionally defined the boundaries between nature and culture, often presenting nature merely as an image while restricting its processes. This talk challenges those norms, showcasing how artists have pushed the limits by introducing elements like dirt, plants, and even live animals into gallery spaces. 🚪🐾

We'll explore how contemporary challenges, including floods and fires exacerbated by climate change, have transformed museums into reflections of environmental crises and potential sites for remediation. 🌍🔥

What to Expect:

• Insights from a five-year research and curatorial project sponsored by the Ny Carlsberg Foundation and CApE.
• Discussions on the dynamic relationship between art exhibitions and nature.
• A chance to engage with emerging visions of nature within institutional frameworks.

Don't miss the post-event reception for further discussions! 🍷
