Presenting case studies from the Design Museum, and insights into what audiences expect from cultural organisations, Elise will share how the Design Museum has transformed their approach to exhibition-making in light of the planetary emergency.

Expect to come away with new ideas on how to design exhibitions with a lower carbon footprint, tools to help you understand the carbon impact of materials, and ideas on how designing through an environmental lens is not just urgent, but an exciting opportunity to create expectational new work.
