Communities of learning and unlearning
A classroom-museum is not based on the presence of teachers and students, or the presence of schools, but on the existence of communities of learning and unlearning.
The role of the museum is not simply to educate, but to ensure that it becomes a collective and intergenerational place for living and learning, constantly moving and in the process of transformation. The artistic and educational community of the museum, which includes the staff, the artists, the public, the neighbourhood and the city, is activated when art shakes off the straightjacket of a single reading and becomes permeable to other contacts, experiences and narratives.
MACBA conceives education as a backbone that articulates the role of the Museum in relation to communities, paying special attention to the educational community and the Raval neighbourhood, of which we are a part.
