Anthropology Department

Anthropology Department

The Museum’s archive involves a new site for the Anthropology Department that is placed in a São Paolo favela dubbed Acampamento Vila Nova Palestina (New Palestine’s Village Camp). In this precarious settlement, the human figure is absent, yet intriguingly visible; and the Palestinian camp becomes a global condition rather than a local predicament. Flayed from the burden of its bodies, the liberated skin here breathes with resolution.
