Museu MIIM um Acervo Histórico-Poético das Imagens da Maré

Abstract

The Museum of the Itinerant Image of Maré – MIIM is the focus of this artistic study, particularly in the presentation and reflection on Box 2 of the project, an archive intended for the organization of inventories of photographic collections that make up the historical-poetic collection of images of Maré, the museum-in-a-box collection. The MIIM is represented by a cardboard box measuring 37cm in length, 26cm in width, and 15cm in height, in which the exhibition elements are organized for public display and access. The museum-in-a-box consists of two main components: the curation process of the Maré image collections and the poetic, cultural, and educational actions carried out in collaboration with institutions such as schools, churches, NGOs, and street events in the favelas of Maré. The artistic actions developed in this study aim to catalog communities of images that represent the sociocultural life of the Maré favelas and bring these images into contact with the public, activating the imagination of visitors to the museum-in-a-box regarding the politics of images of the set of Maré favelas, the largest favela neighborhood in the city of Rio de Janeiro
