Is it possible to rethink the museum as a space for collective identity?
In collaboration with the French Embassy in Spain, as part of the Institut Français de España (TIFE) season, entitled “Us, Europe”, and in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou Málaga, the Museo Picasso Málaga is organising this European course, the aim of which is to rethink museums and galleries as places that build a collective identity, to analyse their role in the Europe of today, and to consider how they are interwoven within contemporary society.
In order to achieve this aim, questions were posed for debate with a cross-cutting perspective, which served as a starting point to then encourage a critical and constructive debate. Based on this need for dialogue, professionals and academics from different European countries shared their work and points of view on museum and gallery programming, the diversity of audiences and the involvement of museums and galleries within the socio-cultural landscape.
