Presentation “Public space and museums: the citizenship’s landscapes”
The urban weave, social space, cities and villages are in themselves big museums in which the citizen grows up, plays, learns, loves, enjoys, lives among others. In the urban space, different elements coexist: our stories, the memory of our communities, the innovations and even the future, seen as shape, climate and movement. The city guarantees the right to urban mobility, to searches and findings, to the knowledge of light and shadow. The city makes us ask ourselves about the meaning of live. Museums are throbbing public spaces, with extra-ordinary architectures that invite the visitor to a series of adventures that include body and knowledge. How can we interweave the inside with the outside? How can we maximize the presence of the museum in the city? How can we offer hospitality to every audience? If we are talking about “Chaos at the Museum”, we should take into account strategies to smash stereotypes and to reconsider specialties. In the same direction, we are obliged to debate what learning means in the museum and in the city, and how can loops, roads, stories and investigations be organized.
