Humanae is a photographic work in progress by artist Angélica Dass. Currently composed of more than 4,500 portraits from volunteers all around the globe, Humanæ pursues to document humanity’s true colors and bring up a critical reflection on the white, red, black and yellow false labels associated with race. The project does not select participants and there is no date set for its completion. It is a journey of open-ended possibilities that enriches the way we see ourselves, beyond faces and colors. Nowadays, the artist has been doing portraits in 38 different cities and 20 different countries.
In this teaching guide, teachers will find a comprehensive and valuable manual for addressing topics such as diversity and anti-racism in the classroom, as well as tools and exercises to use with their students.
Viewing and sharing The Colors We Share, Angélica Dass’ inspiring human-centred photographic work, provides an enriching learning opportunity for our students. The discussion is facilitated by asking guiding questions, encouraging students to reflect on what they see (and what they don’t see), what they think is the main idea, the implicit message or purpose of the work, and how it relates to both our personal stories and our collective, shared humanity.
