ZELAYA FREYMAN, Andrea. Curatorship of the Architectural Space: The Historical Building as an Aesthetic/Affective Experience. Intervención (Méx. DF) [online]. 2025, vol.16, n.31, pp.14-46.  Epub 19-Ene-2026. ISSN 2007-249X.  https://doi.org/10.30763/intervencion.309.v1n31.88.2025.

This text explores the potential of historical buildings as catalysts for aesthetic experiences and presents a curatorial proposal aimed at integrating visitor’s subjective and intersubjective perspectives. Drawing on theorists such as Foucault, Bachelard, and Dewey, it examines how emotional interaction with architectural heritage can enrich narratives and disrupt the linearity of official discourse. As an example, it describes an activity carried out at the Viceregal Museum of Zinacantepec, in which a group of elderly people shared memories and redefined the former convent through their lived experiences. This collaborative approach demonstrated that visiting museums can foster a more intimate, reflective and creative connection with people.
