Concerning this extraordinary exhibition, we highlight the research methodology and the empathy with the descendants of the protagonists of these photographs. They have been involved in the whole study and their point of view has been solicited. Scientific photography of colonialism in Africa can be a sensitive subject, and it is important to take it into account in order to continue learning about history with the utmost respect.
