An image of a sculpture in the background with a text that says: " Tattoos can serve as a unique and powerful form of archive, capturing personal histories, cultural narratives, and collective memories in ways that transcend traditional record-keeping"
There is just a text without an image for background. The text says: "They are not just adornments; they are records of the past, present, and even of possible futures, offering a means of engaging with and understanding history through the body itself"

a sculpture of a man's face in the background and in the front there is a text that says: " This collection of facial casts was supposed to highlight the diversity of the so-called "races" of East Africa south of the equator"
a text that follows the first image and says: "Unlike busts of illustrious men of funerary masks commemorating a deceased loved one, anthropological casts were supposed to embody human "races", with the result that individual identities were often minimized or even totally erased" This text comes from "The Froberville Collection: Faces and Voices of 58 East African ex-Captives Deported During the First Half of the Nineteenth Century to the Plantation Island of Mauritius" Written by Klara Boyer-Rossol
