September 11.(Un) likely Dialogue| Lessons learned from the transformation laboratory of the National Museum of Decorative Arts.

Next Wednesday, September 11, at 3:30 pm, the National Museum of Decorative Arts (MNAD) (c/ Montalbán, 12) will be for the first time the setting for an (Un) likely dialogue. This will be about how citizen participation methodologies can be used in open innovation practices in public institutions. As a starting point for the dialogue, we will draw on the experience of La Batidora, a process carried out in the museum itself through which the MNAD opened up to all citizens to transform itself into a more social and engaged museum through citizen participation.

During the conversation, topics such as the importance of the community’s voice in the strategies of a cultural institution and the experience of working with a public entity in cultural mediation and social innovation will be addressed. The challenges and objectives achieved by La Batidora will be discussed, as well as how the project has influenced the community generated around this participatory laboratory. In addition, we will present the agents involved in the project (MNAD, AIDI), the work process, reflections on the thematic axes (democracy, critical thinking, identity, sustainability), the challenges faced and lessons learned, as well as the transfer and continuity of the project.

We will discuss all this with David Mingorance Puga, responsible for La Batidora at AIDI; and Lucía Aguirre Vaquero, from the Department of Communication and Dissemination of MNAD.

The dialogue will be hybrid. The link to participate virtually will be sent to those registered in the form.
