A educação praticada no/com o MAR: o que nos dizem gestos e narrativas dos educadores do museu?

Abstract

This thesis proposition is the art of thinkingdoing education that is practiced in/with the Rio Art Museum (MAR in Portuguese) from clues suggested by gestures and narratives of museum educators, and by extension, to thinkingdoing of the formation of these educators themselves, permanently woven in the midst of this process. According to the research known as education in/of/with the everyday in which this research is insert, the methodological work to produce data required a dive with all the senses in the museum daily life, including conversations with all its different public, photographs production, participation in lectures and other institutional events, accompanying visits and training processes among other procedures, because in addition to the problematization of my own practices as a museum educator I also have become the subject of my research. With the analysis of the produced material, the research believes that the visit reports produced by the museum educators as part of their training activities proposed by the institution, bring a creative potential to the narratives among which they are questioned, asserted, refuted and invented at the field of educational practices in/with MAR and thus taking them as main intercessors to think the engendered knowledge networks within the museum daily life. With/by their narratives educators negotiate, question and claim other possible views regarding from behavioral standards to the expectations created for their role, the contents to be transmitted at the exhibitions, the desired ways of "seeing", imposed and/or legitimized by the institution. In short, the instigations of this research in/with the everyday of the Rio Art Museum are, somehow, the ways of inhabiting the museum, set up by gestures and narratives of its practitioners and can help us to thinkpractice not only an education for art but also for life
