Memory and Resistance

In this article, we introduce the experience of the network of Museums of Memory and Resistance in Rio de Janeiro, presenting in particular the case of the Museo da Maré. Our encounter with such bottom-up cultural space derives from the involvement in the EU Marie Curie rise project CoCreation, which provided the opportunity to spend a few months researching in Rio de Janeiro with the aim of developing and testing co-creation methodologies in disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
