Performing the Museum is built on the initial resources of the institutions collaborating on the project and based on different practices, some set on tradition and the already established working methods and others seeking a different methodology, resulting in experimental practices. The museums participating on the project aim at re-evaluating and rethinking their resources: archives, collections, and working methods, in order to develop their potentials by creating knowledge and connecting to various types of audiences. The traditional roles of the contemporary museum are changing: its most important activities are no longer merely storage, studying, and exhibiting of artworks, but also an active involvement with the museum's audience. For this reason, the project will develop combination of exhibitions and educational programmes based on the participatory approach, intended for both the audience and the staff. Creation of knowledge, based on the non-hegemonic, emancipatory principle is one of the strategic orientations of all the participating museums.The project main goals are: involvement of the audience in the museum’s activities , integrating performativity in museum practices, enhancing cooperation among professionals, new public visibility of the institutions in terms of resources for the artists, professionals, and audience, applying educational and discursive approaches in curatorship, and introducing new models of exhibiting and mediating art, with a focus on affordable and user-friendly digital technologies.
