Abstract

In the last ten years, and especially after the pandemic, the discussion on cultural mediation and the social role of art and culture has become a key axis of reflection for to think about the space of museums and heritage centers in understanding and transforming our present. This «educational turn» in art centers and museums has opened up a series of research, processes, and experiments that seek to explore and find in art and creativity a critical learning tool and a practice of co-responsibility policy in the field of education. The reflections and proposals collected in this research are especially aimed at institutions and museums that welcome and keep specific material heritage from other times. We want to focus precisely on the museums that keep things, produce matter, and preserve remnants of another time that survive and demand our attention.
