Disrupting War and Patriarchy, a Museological Proposal in Medellin - Colombia

Abstract

This article shows how The House of Memory Museum of Medellin has included gender perspective in its work, by examining the project “Gender, Memory and Depatriarchalization”, implemented by the institution in 2014 and 2015. The project began from a participative action research proposal, which was innovative for exploring how some masculine gender configurations were linked to violent actions and the Colombian armed conflict. The purpose of this article is to analyze how the project was formulated and implemented, highlighting the reading of the category "gender" made by the museum's staff, and how the bonding of men as sexed beings in the disarticulation of the Colombian armed conflict was considered as a museological project.
