The Impossible Museum is a curatorial and creative practice that explores the multiple possibilities of the exhibition narrative, and how spatial experience and collective attention can transform our understanding of the world.
It examines how the exhibition — traditionally a space for art — can also accommodate journalism, storytelling, and social research. At the same time, it questions its physical and institutional boundaries, testing how its narratives might exist beyond conventional frameworks.
Methodology
Our work combines research, curatorship, content, architecture, and experience design to propose new spaces for critical thinking and social reflection, addressing contemporary dilemmas.
Starting from the established format of cultural exhibitions (including performance or installations), we adapt it to a broader social narrative, where factual content coexists with experience, art, and subjectivity. By problematising social issues, we seek ways to engage audiences in relevant debates, using art as a medium of understanding rather than representation.
Each project culminates in a short-lived physical space — as open, democratic, and out of the ordinary as possible — that enables collective learning, the formation of new communities, and unforeseen encounters.
Conceived to operate both within and beyond institutional contexts, The Impossible Museum functions as a methodology for critical thinking in the social sphere. It is an attempt to situate ourselves in relation to one another, using art as a tool to approach the complexity of the present world.
