A Heart's Last Beat.
From the series: I Saw You, You See Me #7

In the grim era of human zoos, also known as ethnological expositions, individuals were publicly exhibited in a degrading portrayal of their so-called "natural" or "primitive" state. Six decades ago, Belgium inaugurated the 1958 World Fair, a grand 200-day spectacle celebrating postwar progress in society, culture, and technology. This event marked a sorrowful milestone as the world's final "human zoo," where humans were exhibited like curiosities. Amid this backdrop of dehumanization and exploitation, Ota Benga's tragic life story unfolds, serving as a poignant reminder of the depths of human cruelty and the enduring spirit's quest for freedom and dignity.

Andra Daans is a Dutch artist based in France, celebrated for her emotionally charged paintings that vividly explore the resilience of the human spirit through compelling storytelling. Her work is deeply influenced by her Dutch-Surinamese heritage, often focusing on the experiences of children and using techniques such as grisaille and raw umber washes to craft powerful narratives. Daans' subjects are typically portrayed in shades of gray or warm, earthy tones, frequently set against vibrant backgrounds or seamlessly integrated into their surroundings, highlighting broader themes of identity, culture, and shared humanity.

Daans' art engages with historical and societal issues, giving voice to those who are often overlooked. Her series on figures like Joseph Boulogne and Ota Benga are striking examples of her ability to weave personal and collective histories into her work. Additionally, her exploration of African patterns and symbols, inspired by her own family heritage, adds cultural depth to her pieces.

Recognized as an Akoun-certified artist, Andra Daans has exhibited her work internationally, with her pieces held in private collections worldwide, including that of notable collector Ed Gordon. Through her art, Daans invites viewers to deeply engage with the stories she tells, fostering empathy and a greater understanding of our interconnectedness.
