Abstract

Vulnerable voices in museums is a documentary research about the development of Human Rights Museology and the impact it has on current museums. Through curatorial proceedings, the museum institution chooses what to show and what to leave out when it builds a story with cultural objects. Although many museums today are considered fair and objective, they need to insist in the conduct of activism methods for the claiming of social justice to vulnerable groups that belong to our societies and vary according to the region. In the same manner, current Museology allows spaces with more information, where the harmful myths that couldn’t have been replaced by museum visitors are fi nally deconstructed.
