Exposició "Diuen que soc. Anatomia d’una fabulació"

The wounds caused by the removal and repatriation of the so-called Black of Banyoles continue to be sensitive for various collectives and institutions. The artist Miguel Ángel Rosales interprets this case as a construction of the Western colonial imaginary, from the taxidermy of the body to its repatriation, considering it a fabrication of almost two centuries. The exhibition «Diuen que soc. Anatomia d'una fabulació» combines archive documents and testimonies about the struggle for repatriation with a dreamlike narrative starring dancer Yinka Esi Graves. Through a cast created in 1989, reflection is offered on the multiple interpretations and identities attributed after death to the person dissected by taxidermist Jules Verraux around 1830 near Cape Town.
