Spanish to English translations [PRO] Art/Literary - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / Museum Exhibition
Spanish term or phrase:plafón dinamizado
SPAIN: Last sentence of a text about an exhibition on Africa in a museum. I'll supply the previous para to appease the context naggers. I don't see how this can be anything to do with a lamp. :
"Primero nos acercaremos a África, pero no para reflejar fielmente el continente, sino que más bien queremos representar determinados aspectos de la vida en Senegal que podrían ser extensibles al resto de África, al mismo tiempo que reflejaremos el sentir del continente negro. Después acompañaremos en el viaje a las personas que migran y veremos los cambios que este conlleva, tanto para sus protagonistas como para sus seres queridos. Mostraremos las dificultades que tienen estas personas para iniciar una nueva vida cuando llegan a Europa, cómo viven y sueñan, y de dónde sacan fuerzas para continuar adelante.
La exposición acaba con un extenso ***plafón dinamizado*** que funciona como resumen y conclusión de lo visitado, en el que se hace especial insistencia en la convivencia intercultural."
The client doesn't know what it means either, so this will do nicely, even if "dynamic" is meaningless to me here. Thanks to everyone for the help :-) 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
They are "funcionarios" so don't work in the afternoons, poor things! You can't find it online because it's just been drafted and will be uploaded when it's translated etc. I could go and see the exhibition but it's a 40 minute drive into the city and I'm too busy. Thanks for the suggestions anyway.
you may be able to pin down exactly what your term refers to if you search for online texts about it (as you know the name of the museum etc.) -- these texts may describe this particular exhibition in a way you can understand better or you may even locate photos of the exhibition.

Notes to answerer
Asker: It does, although I do find this an unusual way to express "panel"...
Explanation: I think the word “dinámica” could be translated as “animated” and that the “plafón” (probably a display panel) could be left as just “display”. See the following examples:
http://www.memphismuseums.org/exhibit-13073/
Other new screens show an animated display of every earthquake from 1960 through the present and live earthquakes in the central United States.

The digital animated display on the museum walls ended years of delays and wrangling over the ultramodern building, set among apartment blocks and elegant neoclassical houses at the foot of the Acropolis hill.
http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2007/02/07/tech-museum.ht...
Visitors to the hall are met at the entrance by three skeletons — a chimpanzee, a Neanderthal and a modern human — in front of an animated display that shows cells and other genetic material.

Sorry, I meant to say "dinamizado" could be translated as "animated".
Another option might be "dynamic animated display".
