Guardiões do patrimônio cultural

Abstract

We present the action project “Guardiões do Patrimônio Cultural”, associated with the Matrix Project “Ecomuseu Delta do Parnaíba” from Program of Postgraduate in Arts, Heritage and Museology, Campus Ministro Reis Veloso of the Federal University of Piauí, with headquarters in the city of Parnaíba. The space and time that were chosen for studies and interventions are the present and Bairro Coqueiro, Luís Correia. It is one of the ten cities that integrates the Delta Environmental Protection Area of Parnaíba. The District houses the headquarters of the Masters and a nucleus of the Ecomuseum, the Museum of the Village, under the management of the Federal University of Piauí and Residents’ Association. We carried out a series of studies and interventions in the field of Heritage and Museology Education. It has been focused on Museology and Social Innovation, which allowed us to understand in a participatory way the meanings and meanings of the cultural landscape of the place, the feelings of belonging - identity, of artisanal fishermen. For this project, we elected as public the school community, 16 students from the middle school, with ages ranging from 11 to 16, students from the Carmosina Martins da Rocha School and residents in the neighborhood, for the formation of a group of mediators of Cultural Heritage. They act as multipliers of studies and actions focused on research, documentation, communication, preservation and promotion of the cultural patrimony of the place they inhabit. The objective is to raise awareness of political and citizen awareness, allowing them to increase the social, economic and educational importance of the assets they hold. As research techniques we apply action research, heritage education and interpretation, especially the Manual of Application of Participatory Inventories of the Institute of National Historical and Artistic Heritage, associated to the concept of Social Technology of Memory. It is especially about the study published by the Museum da Pessoa, with the support of the Banco do Brasil Foundation.
