Drawing on Social Museology principles, this document presents and analyses the activities carried out in 2020 as part of the Karajá Presence Research Project, launched in 2017, into material culture, fabric, and colonial transits. We show how the mapping and study of collections of indigenous artifacts led to a health campaign in support of the Iny Karajá people. This group holds the knowledge related to the production of ritxoko, clay dolls which are the subject of our investigation. Furthermore, we share our understanding that life is the most significant heritage. Working for the survival of biological and cultural diversity must be a non-negotiable commitment of Museology since it is a domain that looks at the fate of things and their continuity.
O artigo discute o grande desafio que se coloca no presente para os responsáveis pelas pesquisas arqueológicas preventivas, associadas à Avaliação Ambiental: como gerir e socializar o imenso acervo material e documental produzido por estas pesquisas, em parceria com os órgãos de proteção ao patrimônio cultural e do campo museal.
Este texto introduz o dossiê temático “Ritxoko é ouro!”, organizado por integrantes do Projeto Presença Karajá: cultura material, tramas e trânsitos coloniais (PPK), desenvolvido desde 2017. Tal dossiê inclui também textos de autoras que não integram a equipe do projeto, mas que de uma maneira ou de outra se aproximam de suas temáticas de pesquisa e sugerem outros desdobramentos possíveis.Na apresentação do dossiê é realizado um balanço do referido projeto, sem a pretensão de ser conclusivo, visto o mesmo encontrar-se ainda em desenvolvimento. “Ritxoko é ouro!”, título do dossiê, é uma fala da ceramista-mestra Mahuederu. Ao pronunciá-la, ela reafirma os valores simbólicos e econômicos ligados à produção das bonecas em cerâmica produzidas pelo povo Iny Karajá, cujo Registro pelo IPHAN como Patrimônio Imaterial Brasileiro completa 10 anos em 2022.
Brazil has solid experience in the community‐based development of museums such as eco‐museums, community museums, street museums, indigenous museums, favela museums, route museums, neighbourhood museums, parade museums ‐ all of which demonstrate creativity and memory's desire, which are capable of attracting international attention. These experiences can be more or less identified with museological concepts, in which have facilitated the development of sites of memory, heritage education, Afro‐Brazilian clubs and participatory inventories, etc. This study presents an overview of Brazilian expertise in the utilization of heritage and collections as pretexts for the empowerment of the players involved in local development, with communities leading the creation of museums in their own way. Looking beyond the high concentration of institutions in a number of states and regions, the text presents other scenarios that demonstrate a situation that is in fact much more diverse.
