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.
Description: The MUŻA concept was conceived and developed by Dr Sandro Debono between 2014 and 2024. These papers collectively stand for the concept’s main wireframe.
