Eleventh International Conference on The Inclusive Museum

Abstract

Museums are changing radically at an accelerated rate, with changes that are processed on several levels, before diverse and complex cultural dynamics. The idea that we try to defend is that, only by adopting an open museum system and permeable to external factors, characterized by ambivalence, fragmentation and hybridity, the museum can, in fact, establish relationships that justify its existence, being able to be interpreted as a liquid element, that is, flowing through the social medium in which it is located. This study emphasizes a discussion of themes related to the conception of the museum as a place of commemoration and celebration of contemporaneity and progress, through processes that problematize its integration through tensions, concessions, and consequently changes in its practices.
