Displaying 80 people in a human zoo in Oslo's most elegant park, two artists hope their "Congo Village" project will help erase what they say is Norwegians' collective amnesia about racism.
Re-enacting a similar display from 1914, Lars Cuznor and Mohamed Ali Fadlabi say Norway, one of the richest nations in the world, with a reputation for tolerance, has only suppressed its intolerance.
The Congo Village — which 100 years ago displayed African tribes, attracting 1.4 million visitors over four months — will this time exhibit volunteers taking turns living on show in makeshift huts, resembling a traditional sub-Saharan village.
