Denise Pollini – The Commons as a Pathway to a New Institutional Dynamic

The Commons as a Pathway to a New Institutional Dynamic is a PhD research that explores how Museums and Cultural Institutions could integrate concepts from the Theory of the Commons in order to shape a new museological praxis. The study analyses the connections between the Museums in the current neoliberal affairs and the contributions from the Theory of the Commons with the aim to produce another operational and philosophical perspective on the “public services” offered by museums; generating a renovated structure in its purpose, exhibitions, and public programs.
