An exhibition of a photographic typology documenting people of "pure bred" ethnicity in order to preserve the lineage and identity of humankind.
El-Kassis explores a personal perspective into the definition of lineage through these images. She envisions these photographs serving as proof for future generations of the existence of pure indigenous ethnic groups. As populations become more integrated, an aspect of identity becomes unrecognizable, so she has begun this typology in order to help preserve the ancestry and identity of humankind.

interesting
I think the text presenting the content was controversial than the pictures themselves... I mean "everyday" people dressed in plain underwear... People "proud" of their ethnicity...
But this idea of "preserving" the identity of humankind???!! So people with mix ethnic background cannot be proud of the richness of their identity??
Just sounds, do I dare say, ARYAN??? :o
Food for thought...
