The exhibition is divided into two main sections.
- The first displays photographs, albums, objects, and documents from the demarcation of the borders that constituted the territories of Angola and Mozambique.
- The second presents photographs and scientific materials from colonial anthropology missions guided by a program of racist stigmatization of colonized populations.

The photographs, films, and scientific objects displayed here were used by science as technology to visualize, measure, classify, and archive their objects of study, in a context of exploitation and extractivism of natural and human resources.
The museum proposes this exhibition as a (small) gesture of historical, identity and cultural reparation, and as a fundamental measure for the construction of a more just society in every gesture of our daily lives.
Until 31 December 2025
