EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, captured by an unknown artist in the 19th century, transports us back to a time when cultural exhibitions were prevalent. The image showcases a young Galibi woman from the Amerindian people, accompanied by her child, at the Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris. This particular print was featured in "La Nature: revue des sciences et de leurs applications aux arts et à l'industrie" on August 19,1882. The photograph highlights the stark contrast between two worlds colliding - that of colonialism and native populations. The young woman's portrait exudes both strength and vulnerability as she stands proudly with her child by her side. Her traditional attire serves as a testament to her heritage and identity. At this time, ethnological exposure was common practice for Europeans seeking to understand different cultures. These human zoos aimed to showcase individuals from various parts of the world as if they were exotic animals on display. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it prompts us to reflect on our past actions and question how such displays impacted these indigenous communities. It reminds us of our shared responsibility to respect all cultures and ensure that no person is treated as an object of curiosity or entertainment. Stefano Bianchetti's restoration work has preserved this significant piece of history for future generations to contemplate the complexities surrounding colonization, representation, and humanity itself.
