| Abstract: | This chapter discusses the MUŻA project as a case study in the context of participatory art museum interpretation strategies and the tools required to empower critical pedagogy. I focus primarily on defining museum publics, the museum experience itself and how visual literacy can be used to empower critical pedagogy, irrespective of art knowledge levels, and the ever-changing character of contemporary society. I also underpin the potential of the museum experience to inform grounded art history narratives, revisit aesthetic yardsticks and promote social equality at individual and community level. |
