Art/Art History: Art Movements Of The 21st Century – Climate Crisis & Ecological Breakdown In Art & Exhibitions With Dr Sarah Wade From University of East Anglia
October 1 @ 14:15 - 15:00
In this live interactive History of Art session, we will be joined by Dr Sarah Wade, Associate Professor in Museum Studies in the School of History and Art History at University of East Anglia to explore how climate crisis is being addressed in contemporary art and exhibitions.
We discuss how museums and galleries have declared an ecological emergency as well as the different ways that contemporary artists have been making work in response to various aspects of environmental breakdown.
At the end of the session, you’ll be aware of the ways that artists and museums are responding to the most pressing issues of the current moment and feel prepared to express your thoughts about this work.
Please note that the session offers a university perspective rather than seeking to teach the A level and so there may be some differences in approach.
