U.S (NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM) : Our museum for the movement—online !

 

 

 

Friend,      Community-led fights for environmental and climate justice—and to stop extraction and exploitation—are central to the projects we co-produce. You can see, watch, and read about this compelling and urgent work at our newly revamped website TheNaturalHistoryMuseum.org. Our online museum features coverage of our recent and upcoming exhibitions, artworks, expeditions, and campaigns, including the 2022 Clean Energy Justice Convergence in Pittsburgh and the coast-to-coast 2021 Red Road to DC. Explore our latest project : “Words Are Monuments—on the movement to topple colonial place-names on maps and federal lands”. Other highlights of the site include : NHM TV : Dozens of short videos featuring Indigenous water protectors and culture-bearers, scientists, scholars, and artists. Writings : a curated collection of essays on topics such as interventions into natural history; Indigenous systems of relationality; and museums in the climate emergency. Photos, illustrations, and artworks that challenge the extraction of life, labor and land, and uplift grassroots leadership Video presentations for activists and museum professionals alike on creative strategies and case studies of interventions on symbols, institutions, and history to strengthen movements. If you are a teacher, student, scholar, environmentalist, or natural history museum-goer, we hope you’ll dig in and explore. We love when educators, activist groups, and museum staff use our videos and materials in their learning and teaching. Guided by lessons from the past, and committed to the fight for the future, we hope you’ll join us on our journey to build a more just and livable world for the generations to come. For the future,          The Natural History Museum.       P.S. Curious about our new animated logo and visual identity ?
