According to the MPA coordinator, Ferleno Ferreira, one of the objectives of this year’s theme is to promote rapprochement between institutions and the community. “The program will be diverse and our objective is to increase the number of visitors”, he says.
The MPA curator, Paola Ribeiro, and the FEM producer, Laís Albuquerque, responsible for organizing the event, highlight the diverse program, with lectures, courses and round tables, as well as a documentary screening and theatrical play at the end.
“The MPA’s participation in National Museum Week is important because, in addition to publicizing the research carried out by the teachers present, it encourages partnership between the museum and institutions, and seeks to include the community in this environment, showing that education and museums they are accessible to everyone”, emphasizes Paola Ribeiro.
