Abstract

Itinerant exhibitions mobilize devices, narratives, and forms of interaction with audiences that influence the ways in which information and culture are appropriated. The objective of this research is to comparatively analyze how these dimensions are organized in two traveling exhibitions, seeking to understand how they shape the possibilities for the appropriation of information and culture. The study is grounded in participant observation and in a comparative and interpretive approach, applied to the exhibitions Museu Itinerante 3D and Lixúria, held in Porto Velho, Rondônia, Brazil. The results indicate differences in the forms of mediation and appropriation in the exhibitions. Museu Itinerante 3D was closer to a diffusionist and transmissive paradigm, prioritizing the presentation of the collection and institutional discourses through sensory experience. Lixúria, in turn, was structured according to a relational logic, seeking to promote socio-environmental discussions and encourage public participation in the production of meanings. The study concludes that the appropriation of information and culture depends on the forms of mediation mobilized.
