ROM’s first-ever climate curator wants to move ‘away from the doomsday aspects of climate change’
Soren Brothers’s office at the Royal Ontario Museum is situated between the institution’s two curatorial departments: art and culture, and science and natural history. The choice of location is both deliberate and symbolic. As the ROM’s inaugural curator of climate change, Dr. Brothers’s work will straddle the realms of communication and climatology.
The curatorship is the first position of its kind at any major museum in North America, and possibly the world. While Dr. Brothers will inevitably make the role his own, his mandate is clear: Ensure the museum’s collections and programming give the climate crisis the attention it deserves.
” the attention it deserves” He should resign immediately.
