Acclimatize Symposium, Moderna Museet, February 2021 The Acclimatize Symposium investigated the evolving role of museums in contemporary society, especially in the climate crisis. The project explored how museums, exhibitions and artists situate themselves in addressing sustainability, what challenges are present that hinder the world of fine art from more acutely taking action towards more sustainability, as well as, defining what tools are needed and available to overcome these issues. MISTRA-EC@ICSJ’s Nico Carpentier participated (indirectly) in the event through his project Silencing/Unsilencing Nature (part of the larger Lyssna! Project - more info about Lyssna! project).
