#SalónDoMARCO is configured as a space recognizable by society itself, like that living room of a home in which to gather around a table or sit on the sofa and talk about becoming and everyday life. This ‘place to be’ is conceived as a project of mediation, experimentation and collective research that facilitates the promotion of learning communities; considering mediation not as a process of explanation of what happens there, but as a device that seeks to weave networks and generate connections.

Contemporary art museums are spaces that create subjectivities, and also amplifiers of narratives; they are places for the sublime, but also makers of the present. They should be places that challenge society and are affected by it, in which the commitment to contemporaneity conditions the creation of other ways of doing, in which discourse is configured as a cornerstone of art.

The opening of this place in the MARCO opens a new infrastructure in the museum itself to test another interface that claims the ability of citizens to build and make common. Through a series of devices —workshops, seminars, encounters, talks, experimental proposals …— it is tried that the citizenship appropriates the # SalónDoMARCO. The generation of research nodes, the construction of the space itself, or the promotion of learning communities, are some of the interventions to be developed.
