Collective memories guide our perceptions of who we were, who we are, and who we can still become.
As a forum for debate that focuses on memory as one of its main subjects, a history museum is a privileged place to discuss the silences and violence that have marked a country as fragmented as ours. This practice opens space for listening, for reparation, and for new possibilities for the future.
Inspired by this perspective, the Ipiranga Museum is carrying out the Meeting “Museum, collective traumatic memories and reparation”, which invites the public to reflect on how museums can address the traumatic collective memories that affect our society.
The event will take place on December 13th at 10:00 AM, in person, and aims to bring the Museum closer to different communities and individuals, amplifying voices and perspectives to consider more pluralistic institutional practices committed to collective memory and human rights.
