Múltiples voces: la construcción colectiva de un patrimonio incompleto en un museo taller

Abstract

In this paper, I present part of my study of the Museo taller Ferrowhite, a historical heritage museum located in Ingeniero White port of Bahía Blanca. Since its inception, it has made a displacement of the traditional contemplative reception, by implementing participatory and collaborative strategies as well as contemporary artistic resources in the construction of community memory. From his archive, collection and guided tours practices, I will ask myself in what way in this workshop museum -which has made a singular synthesis between thematic and the social dimension by problematizing the history and the present of work on the railroad, the port and the world of energy - it strengthened its specific place through the weaving of an intersubjective warp between municipal workers of culture and rail-port workers neighbors nucleated in the Friends of the Castle Association. Likewise, I will review whether it is possible to argue that this social fabric made possible the construction of a participatory institutional dynamic in relation to patrimonial, exhibition, communication and educational issues, through which multiple voices were considered in the collective reconstruction of the historical account, in curatorial decisions and in what is planned due to its museum-workshop nature.
