Abstract In this work we present five fragments on social museology processes in Portugal, which demonstrate the liberating potential in urban space. In the five fragments, which we use using the inspiration of Walter Benjamim, we propose a recognition of the world as relevance, reflecting from the museological poetics in search for the right to memory as a process of freedom and creation of cognitive justice in spaces of citizenship. We start from an approach to the transforming potential of the idea of liminality, of those who find themselves in frontier or renewal spaces, where they are not what they seek to be, and are no longer the former beings, they are in an interstice that allows everything. Of those who are in a moment of passage. Then, we analyze the processes of creating sustainable communities from heritage education. With these questions, we have analyzed five cases in Portugal to defend that social museology can be a tool for social transformation for communities in situations of liminality, and that this transition can be liberating and emancipatory by exploiting the potential of social museology, such as participatory inventories, heritage education and co-creation practices.
