Beyond the fantasies of the contagious living-dead in films and pop culture, this exhibition takes you back to the myth's origins to Haiti. There – concurrent with Voodoo culture – we encounter the zombie, an unrepentant criminal judged by a secret society and given a sentence worse than death. This figure has its roots in a complex association between religions from sub-Saharan Africa, cultures of the original peoples of the Caribbean, and the traumatisms of slavery. Discover the history of these little-known beliefs, still actually alive today.
Exhibition organised by the Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac.
