Museums, Climate Change and Representation

Museums and Chill

In this episode of Museums and Chill, we sit down with Suzanne Dhaliwal, a leading climate justice creative and strategist, to explore the evolving role of museums in addressing the climate crisis.

Recorded live in London after the Serpentine Gallery’s Worldbuilding, Art & Technology in a Climate Changed World event, Suzanne shares insights on how museums can authentically center Indigenous, Black, and POC voices, foster creative collaborations, and navigate ethical challenges around funding.This timely conversation aligns with ICOM’s commitment to integrating culture into climate action, as highlighted at COP29, and reflects the theme of its upcoming General Conference, The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities.
