In addition to the above guidelines, we also recommend the following:
● The Museum of Indigenous Cultures is not just a museum; it is a house of transformation, knowledge, and experiences that belongs to indigenous peoples and to which everyone is invited. Just like when we visit someone else’s home, visitors to the TAVA should have the same attitude of respect and listening, as well as openness to being transformed.
● We ask that everyone maintain a respectful conduct: listen with respect, refrain from shouting, mocking, using cell phones, or interrupting when the masters are speaking.
● As a museum where indigenous people are the narrators of their own stories, it allows for direct interaction between non-indigenous and indigenous individuals. In this sense, interacting with the Masters of Knowledge is the distinguishing element of the MCI and the most important part of the visit. It is essential for visitors to actively participate in the process of knowledge exchange and construction together with the Masters.
● However, visitors should be aware that some topics may be sensitive or difficult to address, especially those related to the violence that indigenous peoples face in their daily lives. When interacting with the indigenous team of the museum, caution should be exercised to avoid attitudes and comments that perpetuate the same stereotypes that the museum aims to deconstruct. The Masters are not objects of the museum but educators to whom everyone should always address in a respectful manner.
● In addition to direct contact with the Masters of Knowledge, we invite the public to interact with the exhibition space and artworks in a reflective manner. Any questions or suggestions arising from the visiting experience can be communicated to the Masters of Knowledge and through the appropriate evaluation channels.
