註釋"MUSEUM OF NONHUMANITY is a full-size museum that presents the history of the distinction between humans and animals, and the way that this artificial boundary has been used to oppress human and nonhuman beings. Throughout history, declaring a group to be nonhuman or subhuman has been an effective tool for justifying slavery, oppression and genocide. Conversely, differentiating humans from other species has paved the way for the abuse of natural resources and other animals. MUSEUM OF NONHUMANITY approaches animalization as a nexus that connects xenophobia, sexism, racism, transphobia, and the abuse of nature and other animals. The touring museum hosts lecture programs in which local civil rights and animal rights organizations, academics, artists, and activists propose paths to a more inclusive society through an intersectional approach. The touring museum also hosts a book shop and a vegan café. As an temporary, utopian institution, MUSEUM OF NONHUMANITY stands as a monument to the call to make animalization history. MUSEUM OF NONHUMANITY is the third project by Gustafsson & Haapoja, a collaboration between visual artist Terike Haapoja and author Laura Gustafsson."--Back cover.
