TRACES fanzine #07

Many institutions around the world hold collections of human remains. The most contentious of these were gathered during colonial periods where indigenous communities had ancestral remains traded, stolen or gifted to collectors. The TRACES Dead Images project has gathered together voices which need to be heard from across the world, voices of contemporary indigenous people, scholars, curators, artists and members of the public. The vehicle for the dialogue is a panoramic photograph by Tal Adler, depicting the human remains of ancestors held in the Natural History Museum of Vienna.
