Abstract This paper takes part in the ongoing debate around how museums have begun to address LGBTQI+ and feminist issues in the 21st century. While Portugal is a particularly interesting country to consider, given that it has passed some of the most advanced legislation on LGBTQI+ rights in Europe (Santos 2012), this progressivism is not reflected in Portuguese museum practices, given that gender museology has been slow to emerge (Vaquinhas 2014). After briefly contextualising initiatives addressing gender in Portuguese art museums, we present as a case study Trazer a margem para o centro (Bringing the Margin to the Centre), a series of three talks hosted by the Berardo Collection Museum, which is considered Portugal’s primary modern and contemporary art museum. Unlike previous initiatives in art museums, which were museum-led, the series of talks was led by the small intersectional feminist collective FACA. A sociologist (Rita Grácio) and the three members of FACA (Andreia Coutinho, Laura Falé and Maribel Sobreira) designed and conducted the three talks that constitute the initiative Bringing the Margin to the Centre. Grácio designed and conducted the qualitative study of the audiences that attended Bringing the Margin to the Centre. This study consisted of participant observation at the event series, at which an adapted version of the Personal Meaning Mapping technique (Falk and Storksdieck 2005) was applied; semi-structured phone interviews with participants were then conducted after the event (Falk and Dierking 2011). The main findings show this event raised awareness among cisgender visitors with heteronormative perspectives and provided a space for counter-narratives of the queer community, showing the role of collective curatorial activism and museums in promoting gender equality and inclusiveness, if acting as gate-leakers, rather than as gatekeepers. Hence, museums can provide lessons to other organisations interested in promoting diversity and inclusion.

女权主义艺术——酷儿博物馆：泄密

摘要 本文参与了围绕博物馆如何开始解决 21 世纪 LGBTQI+ 和女权主义问题的持续辩论。虽然葡萄牙是一个值得考虑的特别有趣的国家，因为它已经通过了一些欧洲最先进的 LGBTQI+ 权利立法（Santos 2012），但这种进步主义并未反映在葡萄牙博物馆的实践中，因为性别博物馆学的出现速度很慢（Vaquinhas 2014）。在简要介绍葡萄牙艺术博物馆中解决性别问题的举措之后，我们以案例研究 Trazer a margem para o centro（将边缘带到中心），由贝拉多收藏博物馆主办的一系列三场演讲，该博物馆被认为是葡萄牙的主要现代博物馆和当代艺术博物馆。与之前由博物馆主导的艺术博物馆举措不同，这一系列的谈话是由小型交叉女权主义集体 FACA 领导的。社会学家 (Rita Grácio) 和 FACA 的三名成员 (Andreia Coutinho、Laura Falé 和 Maribel Sobreira) 设计并主持了三场会谈，构成了将边缘带入中心的倡议。Grácio 设计并进行了对参加将边缘带到中心的观众的定性研究。这项研究包括对事件系列的参与者观察，其中应用了个人意义映射技术（Falk and Storksdieck 2005）的改编版本；然后在活动结束后对参与者进行半结构化电话采访（Falk 和 Dierking 2011）。主要调查结果表明，该活动提高了具有异性恋观点的顺性别游客的意识，并为酷儿社区的反叙事提供了空间，展示了集体策展行动主义和博物馆在促进性别平等和包容性方面的作用，如果充当泄密者，而不是作为守门人。因此，博物馆可以为其他有兴趣促进多样性和包容性的组织提供经验教训。
