Uma Uma experiência em mediação cultural com professoras no museu de arte de Blumenau

Abstract

In art museums, cultural mediation constitutes an essential element between artworks and the public. This study discusses the cultural mediation carried out at the Museum of Art of Blumenau (MAB), through accounts of experiences and mediation activities conducted with early childhood education teachers. The aim of this research study is to analyze reports and records of a cultural mediation experience with teachers at the Museum of Art of Blumenau, identifying the strategies employed and understanding how they contributed to the creation of a welcoming museum space conducive to aesthetic appreciation. This is a qualitative study, based on an experience report and documentary analysis of records from the MAB’s Educational Department. It is concluded that cultural mediation in the museum context enriches the visitor’s experience, transforming the museum into a space for learning and appreciation. Dialogue is shown to foster teachers’ autonomy in the process. The study also reveals that cultural mediation enhances the understanding of the museum as a space of welcome, dialogue, and meaning-making.
