EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of men from the Hottentot tribe in Southern Africa, exhibited at the Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris. The image is an engraving taken from "La Nature: revue des sciences et de leurs applications aux arts et a l industrie" on August 11,1888. The photograph provides a glimpse into a dark chapter of history when human zoos were prevalent during the colonial era. These exhibitions aimed to showcase indigenous people as exotic curiosities for European audiences. Here, we witness these men being displayed like specimens, stripped away from their cultural context and reduced to objects of curiosity. The Hottentots were one among many African tribes who suffered under this form of ethnological exposure. This engraving serves as a reminder of the disturbing consequences of colonialism and its impact on native populations. Photographer Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captures the essence of this moment in time, allowing us to reflect upon our shared humanity and question the ethics behind such displays. As we observe this haunting image, it is crucial to acknowledge that it represents not only an artistic expression but also serves as a historical document shedding light on past injustices inflicted upon marginalized communities. Let us use this photograph as an opportunity for education and reflection so that we may strive towards building a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
