Lately, in Latin America, there has been a greater concern for the integration of local communities in the decisions about how they should be represented in museums. This process has been noted mainly with indigenous communities, clearly changing the Western paradigms on how to expose material culture of the past and on the representation of people with a different cultural matrix. With this text we intend to present two recent exhibitions held in Santiago de Chile about Mapuche culture, debating the strategies used by the curators to show the objects of this indigenous community and the complex relationship between museums and archaeological heritage.

Key words:
Mapuche archaeological objects; indigenous museology; material culture; representation of the past

Detalhes do Evento

First session of the 2026 edition of ‘O Passado em Cena‘ [The Past on Stage] — discussions on approaches to the past and historical memory through cultural objects outside the academic sphere.

Torrente

Debate em torno da peça

Nesta sessão do ciclo O Passado em Cena discutiremos a peça Torrente, do Teatro do Vestido, em torno da memória do processo revolucionário de 1974-75, e em particular da intensa participação cívica desencadeada pelo 25 de Abril. Escrita e dirigida por Joana Craveiro, a peça servirá de pretexto para uma conversa entre a encenadora, os/as actores/as e historiadores/as sobre as múltiplas narrativas que, do teatro à historiografia, nos têm permitido reconsiderar a memória da Revolução.

A sessão insere-se nas actividades do projecto GRASSROOTS — Memória e Revolução. Um arquivo de história oral da militância de base no processo revolucionário de 1974-75 (2023.10625.25ABR)

Participantes: Joana Craveiro, Elisa Lopes da Silva, Felipe Brandi e Luís Trindade (IHC — NOVA FCSH / IN2PAST)
