“Curadorias do invisível”

conhecimentos indígenas e o acervo etnográfico do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi

Abstract

Based on our experience as members of the curatorial team of the Curt Nimuendaju Technical Reserve Ethnographic Collection at the Goeldi Museum (2011-2018), the purpose of this article is to reflect on the challenges of knowing, documenting, saving, conserving and disseminating collections of indigenous objects musealized, based on anthropological and museological research, but also considering our concerns about how to articulate and reconcile indigenous knowledge, perceptions, thoughts and feelings about the materiality, immateriality and agency of objects, and our expectations that this indigenous knowledge can contribute for intercultural management of musealized indigenous objects.
