Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation Project

“What are the usability issues that an anthropological museum may face in 2024?”

This question guided us throughout the entire project drafting process. Our aim was ambitious: to create an exhibition that offered a contemporary and coherent interpretation, capable of engaging the public in a topical and stimulating way. We wanted to make visitors reflect on the dynamics of colonisation and decolonisation, themes that inevitably emerge in collections of this kind.

The whole experience was a challenge, especially considering the extremely tight timeframe of about one month. However, it was also a valuable lesson in collaboration, demonstrating how each team member, with their unique background, can contribute significantly to the realisation of such a complex project.
