Norway to restage 1914 'human zoo' that exhibited Africans as inmates | World news | theguardian.com

"As part of mammoth celebrations of the 200th anniversary of Norway’s constitution, the government is funding two artists to re-enact a "human zoo", which will open to the public on 15 May.

Oslo’s original human zoo or Kongolandsbyen was central to Norway’s world fair in 1914. The artists claim that the new project, which they named European Attraction Limited, is meant to provoke a discussion on colonialism and racism in a post-modern world, engaging with Norway’s racist past in the process."

Yeah, some things should just be left in the past.

Scust @ Norway...and smh trying to justify racist leanings with a "we can learn from this" BS mantra. There's no need for this.

They are def going about this wrong. We can have something to raise awareness of this barbaric practice, like a piece in a museum or maybe some literature, but they're taking it way too far.
:patrice: Wonder what a cac zoo would look like? Separate pens for hipsters, WASPS, rednecks and Jews?
