An anti-racism exhibition gifted by former French international footballer Lilian Thuram has opened at TU Dublin’s Grangegorman campus.
Beyond the Human Zoos is on display in the Central Quad at TU Dublin Grangegorman and is being hosted by Insaka Ireland, the All Africa Youth and Cultural Movement.
The exhibition, gifted by Thuram’s anti-racism foundation, looks at the history of “human zoos”, where Black and Brown people were displayed to European audiences.
Co-founder of Sport Against Racism Ireland Ken McCue said the exhibition shows “the post-slavery manifestation of racism” and how people of Black and Brown skin colours were regarded as “sub-human” by sections of the urban capitalist class.
He said the display was intended to confront visitors with a disturbing but important part of history.
“Today, where hate is transmitted electronically, a display like this has a major impact on the viewer,” McCue said.
