What is meant by this title of the exhibition, or rather, who is meant when we talk about the other? The current exhibition clearly indicates that the other is everything different from the white European man! The choice to show such an exhibition in a museum that deals with colonialism highlights the lack of self-criticism of the curators. And especially the lack of sensitivity towards the locals, children and students who come to visit and are not "white". They are the others according to the message of the exhibition.
