Text in Spanish with English translations

This story has to do with slavery, although it is not a story of slavery. It begins with a singular fact, little known, in a small place far from the great centers of decision: the island of Mauritius. This was the site chosen to rehearse the end of slavery. And they gave it a striking title: The Great Experiment.0This exhibition is a tribute to those who never existed socially, a tribute to those who do not exist now, and the expression of the desire that a tool as powerful as art is capable of making us understand how we are.00Exhibition: Biblioteca Central de Santander, Santandar, Spain (02.07-31.07.2022) / Museo Nacional de Antropología, Madrid, Spain (16.12.2022-12.03.2023).
