Who's exhibiting
What's it about
A project by Miguel Ángel Rosales with the participation of Yinka Esi Graves and David García López de la Osa
Artist Miguel Ángel Rosales interprets the case of the Black Man of Banyoles as a construction of the Western colonial imaginary, from the taxidermy of the body to its repatriation. The exhibition combines archival documents and testimonies with a dreamlike narrative starring dancer Yinka Esi Graves, reflecting on the identities attributed after the death of the person dissected by taxidermist Jules Verraux around 1830 near Cape Town.
