FOLK - from racial types to DNA sequences

(Note: Ended exhibition - see the website!)

Throughout time, people have been grouped by appearance. From these physical features we drew conclusions about what we could expect from behavior and behaviour. Countless studies have been done; scientific works on evolution and variation, origins and histories. The exhibition PEOPLE invites you to study examples of past race research and current genetic research on human biological variation.

In FOLK, you get to explore the interaction between science, on the one hand, and society and culture, on the other: Technological possibilities, different relationships with health and medicine, political and economic inequality, and racial ideological notions. What kind of consequences can this research have for society? And for individuals?
