About this publication
This publication gathers texts and images from the exhibition Racism and Citizenship 6.5.2017 / 3.9.2017
This exhibition focuses on two interlinked realities: racism, understood as prejudice against those of different ethnic origins, combined with discriminatory actions; and citizenship, seen as the right to live, work and participate in the political life of a country, equally involving duties and responsibilities.
The tension between exclusion and integration lies at the heart of this exhibition. Viewers are invited to reflect on various historical realities and recent developments, with the help of objects – paintings, sculptures, engravings, shackles, manillas, ceramics, posters, photographs and videos. Images are presented in their crudity, but they also reveal subtle contradictions, hinting at what lies beyond outward appearances.
