Guided tour ‘Recaptioning our stories’ – secondary education
Images are omnipresent. On social media, in the street scene, in history books … The world is presented via these images, but are these images really so innocent? What if someone else uses your images to tell their own story? What are the consequences of that?

The exhibition Recaptioning Congo reclaims archival material from the Congolese colonial period. This expo takes a critical look at how the old photographs were used to represent people and societies and places history in a new light. Diverse perspectives from European and African photographers, ranging from propaganda images to family portraits, show how photography shapes our view.
