Since the 18th century, the objects that fill homes around the world have shaped identities, behaviors, and even gender relations. Each piece of furniture, each kitchen utensil, tells a part of this silent narrative. In the course "Houses and Things," offered by the Ipiranga Museum, we will explore how these objects have been protagonists in the construction of female and male subjectivities throughout the centuries.
The classes will discuss how the organization of domestic space, decorating choices, artifacts, and home spaces reflect and produce gender differences. The course will also address exhibition design and three-dimensional narrative, offering an in-depth look at the curatorial process and the theoretical discussions that underpin the exhibition.
This course offers an opportunity to broaden your understanding of the relationship between material culture, gender, and the construction of identities in the domestic sphere throughout the centuries.
Classes will be held remotely and streamed live. To receive the certificate, students must sign the attendance sheet on both days of the course.
