Angélica Dass, Humanæ

At this year’s SNF Nostos celebration, award-winning photographer Angélica Dass presents the exhibition Humanæ, an international photographic project/reflection that is constantly evolving and meditating on the meaning of skin color. What are the true colors of humanity, once stereotypical labels are removed?

Brazilian artist Angélica Dass lives in Spain and, through photography, she seeks to cultivate a dialogue between the personal and the global, activating a game where social codes are challenged and reinvented, shaking the notion of identity, and shedding masks.

So far, the Humanæ portrait collection includes more than 4,000 photographs that have traveled to over 40 countries, revealing the beauty and diversity of humanity.

During SNF Nostos, over 100 portraits will be displayed along the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC)’s Canal, reminding visitors that skin color can be seen as an objective human quality rather than a label and seeking to flatten out prejudices that lead to all kinds of inequalities. Walking by the Canal, audiences will enter the world Angelica Dass has created, a world where diversity and otherness are natural and only contribute to the beauty of everyday life.

Details of the program are likely to change in accordance with the latest COVID-19 health measures.
