Ocupe o museu (com) memórias de Goiânia: O público como construtor de conteúdos

Abstract

This paper aims to reflect on biographical content curation, namely biographies of the public as content, by reporting and analyzing an experience of biographic participation in the Anthropological Museum of the Federal University of Goiás, in the city of Goiânia, Brazil. The exhibition Occupy Museum whose activities were methodologically based on inclusive pedagogies sought to reach out to the museum’s non-publics and to transform them into roducers of museological contents. The exhibition featured loans and gifts of objects, photographs and oral and film narratives by residents of the area surrounding the Museum. More than integration of collections belonging to this populations segment, experiences of biographical participation were developed in numerous meetings for the preparation of the exhibition and in the conversation rounds that followed the opening of the exhibition on two special occasions. The application of the idea-motor of Occupy Museum into other activities in the last two years is also analyzed.
