jardinCOUR

With the first ever Truth Commission in the Netherlands, Chokri Ben Chikha/Action Zoo Humain draws attention to the underexposed, colonial legacy of the human zoo. The Netherlands also exhibited thousands of men, women and children as 'exotic', 'wild' and 'primitive' in so-called 'human gardens' well into the 20th century.

Does the human zoo still influence social thinking today? Aren't ethnic profiling by the police, the benefits scandal at the tax authorities, but also the 'innocent' sharing of images on social media of that 'exotic' trip, examples of this?
