Research Essay - How can Active Hope be the central axis for social and environmental change within museum digital policy?
History of Art student at the University of St Andrews. I am interested in the intersection of the visual arts and the climate crisis; exploring the interactions between artists, cultural institutions, and the environment, past and present, as well as imagining what future interactions may look like. Undertaking research on the environmental impact of digital practice in museums and heritage institutions, from carbon costs and water usage of data centres to the digital colonialism of mineral extraction and e-waste disposal. My research looks to centre the idea of Active Hope. I will research the different experiences of hope across and in curation with different communities, questioning how hope can be the central axis for social and environmental change within digital policy in museums.
