Professor Marius Turda explores the history and impact of the eugenics movement. He delves into the origins of eugenics, its rise to prominence, and its influence on social and health policies worldwide. The work highlights the visual and public iconographies used to promote eugenic ideologies, examining their role in shaping societal attitudes and reinforcing discriminatory practices. Through this digital exhibition, the text invites reflection on the legacy of eugenics and its ongoing implications in contemporary debates about genetics and human rights.
Between 1 November and 13 December 2024, the exhibition ‘We are not Alone’: Legacies of Eugenics is on display at the University of Helsinki, hosted by the Centre for Research in Ethnic Relations and Nationalism and Swedish School of Social Sciences. On 5 November Prof Marius Turda gave a public talk explaining the aims of the exhibitions and the role it plays in today’s debates about the resurgence of eugenics.
The exhibition ‘We are not alone’: Legacies of Eugenics is on display at ETH Zurich, Honggerberg Campus between 5 October and 1 November 2024. It accompanies the video installation “Eugenik und ANAG Gebildete Handlanger der Macht” by Melinda Nadj Abonji, and the textile work “Ohne Pro kein Contra – Spaltung und Hierarchie im Schweizer Familienhaus” by Paola De Martin with Melinda Nadj Abonji and Lucia Bernini.
