Ágora de Cá_ What can Art do? | What can museums do? What can we expect from museums?

On December 10, at 6:00 p.m., the fifth session of the Ágora de Cá cycle, within the series “What can Art do?” will take place at the zet gallery, with the sub-theme “What can museums do? What can we expect from museums?”. In this debate, we propose rethinking together the social function of the museum, not as something closed or predefined, but rather as a continuous construction, a space for debate, open to antagonisms and contradictions.

 

The session will feature Carmen Mörsch, professor of art education at the Johannes-Gutenberg University School of Arts in Mainz, Germany, and Mário Moutinho, architect, lecturer and researcher in the field of museology.

 

The moderator will be Ece Canli, a researcher at CECS – Centro de Estudos de Comunicação e Sociedade [Communication and Society Studies Research Center] from the University of Minho.

 

The project is organized by zet gallery in partnership with Passeio, with the support of dstgroup and CECS – Centro de Estudos de Comunicação e Sociedade [Communication and Society Studies Research Center] from the University of Minho.
