design museums, reflect audiences
In a society increasingly stimulated by various forms of personalization, what are the challenges for museums and art institutions in effectively engaging with their audiences? Programming strategies are often designed to generate identification and representation by taking into account society's demands, but they do not always result in the appreciation and recognition of museum institutions by the general public.
2023
The São Paulo Museum of Modern Art is turning 75 years old. We scheduled a seminar to discuss the constitution and operations of modern art museums in Brazil. To broaden the debate and observe together the differences and similarities between museums that deal with modern narrative, we invited representatives from MAM in Rio de Janeiro, MAM in Bahia and MAMAM in Recife, and other important guests. Thus, we intend to reflect on the unique situations of its collections and exhibition programs, in addition to exploring its origins, proposals and actions – curatorial and educational.
