The human garden, a bizarre concept and part of our colonial legacy. Until the 20th century, humans were displayed as ‘exotic’ specimens or ‘primitive’ natural phenomena. It is a dark part of our colonial history, but how do these human gardens work through? What do such historical phenomena mean for our current way of looking at the world? Action Zoo Humaine probes this in their ‘The Truth Commission’ exhibition’, on the human zoo and their knock-on effects in the now.
Traces of colonisation can always be found, especially in politics. That is why the performance of Thursday 4 April at 20:00 itself playback in the Senate. Want to come along? Tickets must be booked by name due to the venue, so you need to book your ticket yourself. But DWARS can pay 7.50 of the ticket price for you (making the personal contribution only 5 euro is)! So if you want to come along, you may contact the treasurer (Wietse) via an app or at penningmeester.leiden-haaglanden@dwars.org. You can also contact him if you cannot afford the co-payment. You can order the tickets via this link: https://www.hnt.nl/voorstellingen/8805/action-zoo-humain/de-waarheidscommissie.
