MoMA: International Museum Education Institute: Focus Brazil

MoMA's International Program and Department of Education organized their second International Museum Education Institute focusing on Brazil in collaboration with Instituto MESA. The two-day event held in July 2011 explored the legacies of the pedagogical theories of such figures as Paulo Freire and Augusto Boal in artistic practices and museum education in Brazil and the United States since the 1960s. By bringing together artists, art historians, museum and art educators and theorists, the symposium approached this subject in a cross-disciplinary manner through a series of conversations, presentations and debates.

For details on the event and a list of participants see http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/events/12764. Issues raised and questions explored during this institute were further discussed in a follow-up international seminar Reconfiguring the public: art, pedagogy & participation at Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro in November 2011 in collaboration with MoMA´s International Program and Department of Education along with key Brazilian cultural institutions such as Casa Daros and Bienal Mercosul (see international seminars Reconfiguring the public I & II).
