Abstract
The processes that culminated in the independence of European Colonies affected disciplines that directly or indirectly legitimized colonial power. The New Museology movement provoked actions that brought the museum closer to the community and enabled the insertion of groups related to the collections safeguarded within the institutions. On the other hand, the anthropological discipline itself was reformulated, providing tools for the construction of a new look on the ethnographic collection. In this sense, museums have developed projects in partnership with peoples related to their collections and produced new relationships with ethnographic objects. In relation to these important experiences that make museums a place for cultural and political discussions that cross different groups, I propose to narrate the experience of the exhibition Dja Guata Porã: Rio de Janeiro Indígena, inaugurated in May 2017 at the Museum of Art of Rio (MAR), located in Rio de Janeiro.
