Mediación contemporánea en instituciones culturales from edX

Desde el siglo XX, la mediación aparece en el museo como esa herramienta bisagra entre el objeto y la ciudadanía. Si bien comienza replicando patrones académicos con una clara estructura jerárquica vertical, en poco tiempo se convierte en la herramienta para pensar el contenido del museo y la propia institución desde una posición crítica y situada.

A través de este curso, conocerás los cambios de paradigma del museo como templo, al museo como espacio de pensamiento para la ciudadanía, donde el espectador ya no solo es un receptor pasivo de una narrativa, sino que se convierte en un actor creativo de la misma.

Aprenderás una serie de herramientas tanto metodológicas como performáticas para llevar a cabo todo el proceso de mediación desde su planeación hasta su ejecución.

Este curso hace parte del Programa de Certificación Profesional Museología: exposiciones, públicos y comunicación digital que la Universidad del Rosario en convenio con el Museo de Arte Moderno de Bogotá (MAMBO), el cual se ha creado como respuesta a la necesidad de las personas interesadas en acercarse al quehacer museal y deseen emprender su vida laboral en el mundo de los museos.
