Dark Green Curation

How the World’s Museums are Promoting Environmental Knowledge, Values, and Nature Spiritualities

Bron Taylor [+–]

View Website
Bron Taylor is Professor of Religion and Environmental Ethics at the University of Florida and a Fellow of the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich, Germany. An interdisciplinary environmental studies scholar, Taylor’s research explores through the lenses of the sciences and humanities the complex relationships religion, ecology, ethics, and the quest for sustainability. His books include Dark Green Religion: Nature Spirituality and the Planetary Future (2010), Avatar and Nature Spirituality (2013), and Ecological Resistance Movements (1995). He is also editor-in-Chief of the Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature (2005) and the Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture (published by Equinox) since 2007. In 2017, he received a Lifetime Achievement award from the International Society for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture.

When penning On the Origin of Species Charles Darwin knew it would profoundly disrupt the prevailing religious worldviews of his day. Not wanting to leave readers adrift in a sea of meaninglessness, therefore, he offered readers an alternative worldview, writing evocatively that “there is grandeur” in an evolutionary understanding of the beauty and diversity of life on Earth. Generations later, the world’s great aquariums and museums fuse the arts and sciences promoting the environmental sciences, feelings of belonging and connection to nature, kinship with non-human organisms, and proenvironmental values. Taking readers on a sensory, global tour, this book illustrates the way curators, and the scientists, artists, and other cultural creatives with whom they collaborate, are constructing meaning and urging their visitors to pitch in and protect the biosphere that, sometimes explicitly, other times implicitly, they present as sacred and worthy of reverent care.
