EMARANHADO

reflections on cyberculture through a curricular exhibition in digital format

Abstract

This paper tells the shared curator EMARANHADO exhibition, which took place in 2021 with ten curators, students of Museology (Museum Studies) at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. The paper presents briefly the initial physical exhibition project that had to be adapted to digital space regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. It presents the organization of works, with seven lines of approach to execute the exhibition: collection, the exhibition space, the communication, the interaction, the cultural and educational activities, the accessibility and the evaluation. This text reflects the potentials and difficulties of a museological exhibition, as a curricular exercise in digital format. It concludes that choosing Instagram as one of the exhibition spaces was rightful whereas the website was onerous, with not much return from audience engagement. It also ponders that if on one hand being present in many social medias reaches more people, it also  scatters attention and complicates the creation of content by part of the curator’s team.
