The
photographic work of my friend Ibrahim Sajid is part of a
new exhibition (until June 21) at Arenas, the former bullring at
Gran
Via de les Corts Catalanes, 373- on Plaça
d'Espanya,
Barcelona.
The
concept of this international group project is stated as:
"Mankind
has come a long way, yet even in today’s modern world, our
behaviours are stereotypical.
Racism, bias and
discrimination are the social evils prevalent in all societies and
each and every one of us plays a role in either contributing to or
breaking down racial prejudice and intolerant attitudes.Our opinions are created and nurtured by superficial beliefs, making us form biases against ethnicities, cultures, religions, gender, nationalities, races and color without even trying to see beyond.
This installation urges us, as a society, to question the first impressions we form at a glance, regardless of his or her appearance, forcing us to look beyond the colour."
