Deslocamentos com um grupo em saúde mental: sobre as acessibilidades em museus e espaços culturais

Abstract

When we think about accessibility in museums and cultural spaces, we tend to consider, mainly, the adaptation of physical structures and the so-called public with disabilities. We propose here an extended view of the different accessibilities and their cross-links, based on the experience of accompanying a public device within the substitutive care network in Mental Health, called the Center for Coexistence and Culture Trilhos do Engenho, located inside the Instituto Municipal Nise da Silveira complex (RJ). The objective of this work is to analyze, based on six visits to museums and cultural spaces and their respective proposals of occupation of space, how the force fields are placed, which categories are in use, and how they are negotiated and subverted by the mental health group. While many museums and cultural institutions are configured as disciplinary and normative spaces, with a language and codes of their own, these spaces can also provide experiences that strengthen relationships of sociability.
