Coco Fusco & Paula Heredia, ‘The Couple in the Cage: Guatinaui Odyssey’, 1993

In 1992, artists Coco Fusco and Guillermo Gómez-Peña embarked on a tour performing “The Couple in the Cage: Two Undiscovered Amerindians Visit the West.” Their provocative reenactment, dressed in various costumes, highlighted the historical context of ethnological exhibitions that showcased humans in supposedly primitive settings. This commentary by Fusco and Gómez-Peña emphasised the lasting impact of such exhibitions on perpetuating stereotypes about BIPOC communities. #CocoFusco #PerformanceArtHistory
