MEMORIES AND HERITAGE EDUCATION AT THE CASA HANSEN BAHIA MUSEUM

Abstract

This article presents a study on the former house of the artist couple Ilse and Hansen Bahia, as a museum space that aggregates memories listed by the government. Our problem: Is there a need to form a sense of belonging in the local population that will generate protection and preservation actions? The objective is to reflect on the importance of heritage education activities, which bring the local population closer to the house as a cultural heritage in an affective and expanded way. The methodology used was based on the analysis of the problem through a qualitative approach of knowledge apprehension, articulated with the bibliographic research, where the information collected was analyzed, selected and, through synthesis, gathered in a systematic way in the theoretical foundation of the intended study. The relationship between memory and education established in the text points to an interdisciplinary path in the preservation of artistic and cultural heritage. Finally, we conclude the importance of the educational actions developed by the Casa Hansen Bahia Museum in partnership with schools, highlighting the need to expand the actions to the local adult population, aiming at the socialization of knowledge and more diversified public access to the collection.
