Virtual Conversation: Exhibitions, Museum Collections, and Environment, 27 July 2023

Join Heather Alexis Smith, Assistant Curator at the Pulitzer, and Dr. Julia Perratore, Assistant Curator at The Met Cloisters on Thursday, 27 July 2023 for a conversation about ecology-centered museum practices. Smith will describe the process of organizing the Pulitzer’s spring show The Nature of Things: Medieval Art and Ecology, 1100-1550 and will discuss how exhibitions can help us think differently about environments—both past and present. Perratore will detail efforts underway at the Met Cloisters—one of the most comprehensive collections of medieval art in the world—to build more climate-friendly installations and exhibitions.

This program will be hosted on Zoom; Registration is required.
