Museums, Art and Inclusion in a Climate Emergency considers the
impact of the Anthropocene on history and memory, approaches to
objects and agency, and the incommensurability of western and
Indigenous ontologies. Drawing on Indigenous knowledge, humanities
and museological literature, continental philosophy, contemporary
art and popular culture, Baker acknowledges the autonomous agency
of geological forms, including soils, minerals and fossil fuels.
Demonstrating that this has implications for an expanded idea of an
'inclusive' museum and its relationship to entities beyond 'life'
and living species, the book argues that the 'inclusion' paradigm
needs to include non-life actors. Gesturing to a geontological
'turn' through developing notions of geo-inclusion, the
mineralhuman, and approaches to object agency that connect with
Aboriginal 'heritage', Baker exposes the ongoing destruction of
Country by mining interests in Western Australia and elsewhere. By
addressing the need for urgent change through the artifice of the
museum, the book identifies an expanded approach to inclusion
beyond the limits imposed by the politics of identity. Museums, Art
and Inclusion in a Climate Emergency theorises the potential of an
expanded idea of the museum and will be of interest to scholars and
students engaged in the study of museums and heritage,
environmental humanities and geo-humanities, ecological art history
and contemporary art.
