Over 13k people have signed the Change.org petition to ban the upcoming Human Zoo exhibition by South African Brett Bailey set to show at the Barbican centre this month... The petition started by Sara Myers, is calling for The Barbican centre in London to not put on Exhibit B, by the controversial white South African Brett Bailey which is ased on the 19th century phenomenon of the human zoo, in which African tribespeople were displayed for the entertainment of European and American audiences. One case describes the Congolese pygmy Ota Benga who, in 1906, was put on display at the Bronx zoo in New York alongside the apes and giraffes. They literally created human zoos at the expense of black people. change.org/p/withdraw-the-racist-exhibition-exhibition-b-the-human-zoo thebritishblacklist
