Catarina Simão
R-Humor
The centerpiece of the R-Humor exhibition is a collection of 245 photographs from the archives of Leipzig’s Grassi Museum für Völkerkunde, one of Saxony’s most prestigious ethnographic museums. These photographs offer a unique perspective on the history of the Makonde art collection at the Museu Nacional de Etnologia in Nampula (Mozambique), which was brought together during Portuguese colonial rule. In a critical and satirical manner, they also constitute a paradox as proof of a clairvoyance regarding the behavior of the white colonizer.
