Society & Culture
Shipping works of art, frequent international travel or single-use exhibition materials makes sustainability a pressing issue in the art world. Another dimension of sustainability in the arts and cultural sector is the role of women. How are female leaders using their voice to drive a sustainable future both within and outside the sector? In the third episode of Talking Culture, Iwona Blazwick talks about sustainability in the art and cultural world and discusses why women's histories and awareness might make them “more alive to the climate crisis and how to battle it.” The director of the Whitechapel Gallery has also been participating in the Goethe-Institut’s “Women in Culture Network,” where an international group of female leaders shares aspects of female leadership and empowerment.
