Ferrowhite - museo taller

Ferrowhite is a museum workshop. A place where things, in addition to being exhibited, are manufactured. And what does a museum workshop produce? A museum workshop generates tools. Useful to expand our understanding of the present and, therefore, our perspective of the future, forged in the work with objects and documents of the past, but also in the melee with the life experience of hundreds, thousands of workers who are part of, and they shape that story.

More than 5000 pieces of railroad and port, stolen by a group of railroaders during the privatizations of the nineties, are the starting point to try to understand how the workshops were organized in which these tools were used, how were the order and the conflicts of the society they served, and how they are, by comparison, things today.

Books and bags for purchases, rafts and videos, theater and boxes for tools ... perhaps what this museum workshop generates are relationships. An unstable amalgam between words, images, bodies and things that seeks to configure, even in a modest way, new ways of understanding and practicing life in common from reviewing the hierarchies devoted to telling the past, analyzing the conjuncture or to imagine the future.
