ABOUT TIME EXPERIENCES:

The Time Experiences program was conceived by the Museum of Tomorrow to address the different possibilities of comprehension of Brazilian culture and, particularly, of Rio, from the way we experience and explore the time in our daily lives. Due to the ethnic-historical amalgam of country, marked by the coexistence of indigenous, enslaved Africans, Portuguese and immigrants from all over the world, reflect on the ways of living temporalize has a special meaning. The programmatic research line called Experiences Time seeks to bring to the public debate and understanding this wealth of existential possibilities that many Brasilidades that we allow us to explore.

The idea of ​​the Time Experiences program arose from the very location of the Museum of Tomorrow in the port area, place marked by historic sites such as the Valongo wharf, port of arrival of thousands of enslaved Africans to the country and recognized by UNESCO as world heritage, and part of the Guanabara Bay, in whose surroundings lived several indigenous tribes. In its first activities, the Experiences included the African roots, which then unfolded in other museum schedules. Now, It is launching its Indian mother.

The ways of conceiving and experiencing time is an essential element present in all cultures - albeit in different ways. The main objective of the program is so is to recognize that, though we are under the hegemony of a chronological time, there in our concrete lives of Rio citizens such other time dimensions that we all share. If we think of Valongo wharf of stones, we understand that there is a time there that is not our. Marked, including, the attempted burial. If we buries African tradition, in an attempt to bury slavery along with that, the indigenous tradition is a spectrum that. Deeper, older, corn evanescent. However, all of us, if you look at the map, or are tupinambás or tupiniquins or temiminós or tamoios. We are all of these tribes. Our geographies, our neighborhoods, water sources, all this is part of our training, although we not learn this in school.

The investigation of possible new forms of experience of time – new rhythms, cadences, movements – associates, in fact, the recognition that although the Museum of Tomorrow aims to explore possibilities of future scenarios, its foundations are encontam deeply rooted in the historical heart of the city and the country.

Tomorrow Museum is a cultural institution of the Municipal Secretariat of Culture of Rio de Janeiro, under management Development and Management Institute (IDG).
