ΝΑΣΣΙΑ ΧΟΥΡΜΟΥΖΙΑΔΗ​

nassiah@aegean.gr

 

Σπούδασε σε τρία διαφορετικά εκπαιδευτικά περιβάλλοντα (Χημεία, Αρχιτεκτονική, Αρχαιολογία), προσπαθώντας να συνδυάσει τη «θετικιστική» μεθοδολογία, το δημιουργικό σχεδιασμό και τη θεωρητική αναζήτηση στο πεδίο της διαχείρισης και κοινωνικής αξιοποίησης των πολιτισμικών πόρων, και, κυρίως, την μουσειακή διαχείριση του παρελθόντος. Οι προβληματισμοί και οι προτάσεις της δοκιμάστηκαν στην πράξη σε μια σειρά μελετών που αφορούν συγκρότηση πλαισίων διαχείρισης πολιτισμικών πόρων, μουσειακές εκθέσεις –όπως το Μουσείο Κινηματογράφου Θεσσαλονίκης- και επεμβάσεις σε αρχαιολογικούς χώρους –όπως το Οικομουσείο του Δισπηλιού-, ενώ, ταυτόχρονα, παρουσιάζονται σε δημοσιεύσεις και παρουσιάσεις σε συνέδρια. Είναι Επίκουρη Καθηγήτρια και Διευθύντρια του Εργαστηρίου Μουσειολογίας στο Τμήμα Πολιτισμικής Τεχνολογίας και Επικοινωνίας του Πανεπιστημίου Αιγαίου. Κύρια ερευνητικά ενδιαφέροντα: θεωρητικά και μεθοδολογικά ζητήματα της μουσειακής πράξης, διαχείριση πολιτισμικών πόρων, δημόσια αρχαιολογία, καθώς και η εισβολή της ψηφιακής πραγματικότητας στα παραπάνω.
