In interaction with the
City Hall of the Municipality of Araraquara and the Araporã Foundation,
Zanettini Arqueologia has been working on the consolidation of MAPA, now one of
the main institutions for the preservation of the archaeological heritage of
the state of São Paulo. This partnership, which began more than a decade ago,
involves, since 2011, the realization of a museological diagnosis and the
configuration of a museological plan for the institution.
The museological
diagnosis resulted in the organization of 36 thousand archaeological pieces,
coming from 37 municipalities in São Paulo, which demonstrates the MAPA's
regional projection. These pieces are the result of academic research carried
out by the GEA (Archaeological Studies Group / UNESP) team - in integration
with other research centers and universities, as well as studies related to the
environmental licensing of various projects.
During the construction
of the museum plan, it was possible to establish MAPA's mission: "to carry
out excellent research in the areas of Archeology, Paleontology and Museology,
constituting a dynamic pole of construction of knowledge, formation and
sustainable use of cultural heritage, collaborating in a significant way for
local and regional development ".
In November 2011, this
process had an important milestone: the inauguration of MAPA's first long-term
exhibition, entitled "Multiple Looks".
This exhibition shows
the museum as a process: its collections, narratives and plans for the future.
The expository discourse brings the multiple glances and multiple voices that
have built this institution, as well as invites the citizens of Araraquara and
region to bring their eyes to this museum.
In this way, MAPA has
become an open space for the community, playing an important role as an agent
of social transformation, where references from the past gain new meanings,
useful for the discussion about the future construction of the region.
