Estourando a moldura: a arte indígena contemporânea legitimando seu espaço nos museus

Abstract

This monograph work aims to carry out an introductory study on the insertion of the indigenous figure in museum dynamics, with a main focus on collaborative curation processes. From a brief discussion about the formation of curiosity cabinets and the development of the anthropological and ethnographic perspective that emerged from these institutions during the 19th century, this study intends to reframe the role assigned to the indigenous people through mechanisms that promote their protagonism and enable construction of new narratives, making more plural stories and memories, in fact, part of contemporary museums. Institutions of great importance in the cultural sector, such as the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, have increasingly used new curatorial tools based on the decolonial movement, showing that communication can be successful when it includes the full participation of socially marginalized groups, for example . The paths are promising and indicate that the formation of an exhibition space built from the notion of belonging and identity is extremely viable
