The very valiant participation of colonial soldiers in the French armies during World War 1, and the recruitment of thousands of colonial workers, had reinforced the idea that the colonies were useful, and even necessary, if France were to keep its rank as a great political and military power and be able to resist another conflict. The African infantryman, whose image used to feature on Banania cocoa tins, was a popular figure, reflecting the image of the “good black soldier” fighting for France.

Origins

Through the lens of contemporary art and guided by scientific data, the exhibition Origins questions one of the most powerful and persistent factors of discrimination in our society. ‘Origin’, whether real or imagined, is a cause of daily exclusion and stigmatisation. It is a reality that often goes unacknowledged, even though it shapes both collective and individual life paths from the earliest childhood.
