The exhibition “We Are Not Alone”: Legacies of Eugenics reviews with critical openness the impact of eugenics across time and space. It reveals how eugenics has influenced programmes of human betterment in different national and international contexts since the 1880s.
It is therefore imperative to engage with the legacies of eugenics and to reclaim the academic, cultural and social spaces it occupied for so long. Guided by the aim of unveiling a hidden and tenebrous history, the exhibition therefore reorients the focus on anti-eugenics. To create the sense of togetherness, of acceptance and inclusion, together with the the ability to respond forcefully to any form of discrimination, requires that we confront our eugenic past and its tentacular personifications in the present.
