The Attentive Museum. Permeable Practices for a Common Ground
The celebration of the 60th anniversary of our organization, CIMAM, has helped us rethink, looking back, which have been the values, achievements, and challenges that museum institutions must face from now on.
That is why this year, we thought that The Attentive Museum, to be held at Es Baluard Museu d'Art Contemporani de Palma in Mallorca, is a good time for museum professionals to think about each of the three days of this congress, how we face learning and reorganizing, updating our institutions, giving shelter to social, political, and cultural emergencies, after the consequences of the pandemic, climate change and the war situation in Europe with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
For this reason, every day faces these challenges. On the first day, looking from inside the museum and understanding how to make an institution more competent with ourselves and the ways of governance of institutions.
The second, updating new narratives and forms of knowledge in which inequalities in terms of race, gender, or social exclusion do not repeat the discourses that the hegemonic museum inherited from the postulates of the nineteenth century and trying to present the museum as an integrating entity and in coalition with the cultures that have not had a place or visibility.
And in relation to this, on the third day, it will be fundamental to understand what the museum can learn collectively from civil society and how we can integrate the collective knowledge that is not in the museum as pedagogical, artistic, and political tools.
Agustin Perez Rubio, Chair of CIMAM's Contents Committee.
