Antwerp’s ‘human zoo’: Belgium confronts the shame of its colonial past.

In 1894, when the Belgian city of Antwerp was hosting a World’s Fair, 144 Congolese people were forcibly brought to the city to be exhibited in the Congo Pavilion.

In this “human zoo”, seven Congolese men ultimately died of disease.

Today, this shocking episode still haunts Belgium as one of its colonial history’s darkest chapters.

Не супер-пупер текст про гея-перебежчика из Северной Кореи (время свидетельств — 1990-е), о трансмейле в Северной Корее (время описания — 1980-е и 2000-е), также есть простое упоминание
публичной казни лесбийской пары в городе Чхонджине без каких-либо подробностей и без временной привязки. Как водится, в тексте присутствует взгляд human zoo и экзотизация, но этого немного. https://www.bbc.com/russian/articles/c8rlzmzk78jo #queerhistory #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA+ #NorthKorea #Chongjin #humanzoo #press
