| Polyxeni Mantzou (Prof. DUTH) represented the PALIMPSEST Project at the Summit for “Museum Education and Sustainable Development: The Role of the New School”, at the Conference Center of the Region of Epirus in Ioannina, Greece. The lecture presented PALIMPSEST as an interactive, open-air museum that opens up new possibilities regarding the educational experience in museums.
The Museum that the PALIMPSEST aspires to create is a different and singular museum, since its location, access, content, structure, are all reconsidered and influenced by the post-alphabetic condition. The post-alphabetic museum is a museum where numerous possible combinations and augmentations are realized and where common classifications and taxonomies become irrelevant. PALIMPSEST proposes an open-air, constantly changing, evanescent and dreamlike, but also personalized, museistic experience which questions and defies traditional organizations of Museums. Content for the PALIMPSEST museum is co-created by the public involved in the collection of narratives from the city’s past and artists responsible for the mise en scène of the narratives in the public urban space. This interrelation of experts and public, of traditional emitters and receivers, of authors and audience for the co-creation and the common authorship of the content is an issue of great significance. |
