Jabonería social of the Espuma Program, a participatory institutional strategy at the Museum Castagnino-Macro (Rosario, Argentina)

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the case study called Jabonería Social del Programa Espuma that took place at the Museo Castagnino-macro (Rosario, Argentina), in order to reflect on a certain yearning for social transformation to which art museums have aspired in recent years. To this end, we use an interdisciplinary theoretical-methodological perspective, of a descriptive-analytical nature, which allows us to pivot, on the one hand, between visions that articulate the artistic, the social and the environmental and, on the other, to address the complexity of the mandates that are part of the current dynamics of the museum venues when projecting themselves as mediators for sustainable social and environmental citizen development.
