In the second part of our "Melanin Matters" Podcast episode we discuss the connections between skin tone and class, the connections between skin tone and gender as well as how the skin of our researchers influences their work.

Melanin Matters - a photography workshop in Lagos, Nigeria
Glimpses at Coloristic Human Differentiation
From 29 October to 5 November, the CRC 1482 Human Differentiation, the Goethe-Institut Nigeria and the Nlele Institute jointly organised a photography workshop on skin and skin tones. Throughout the workshop, participants explored how we perceive and think about skin and skin tones and how photography can influence these perceptions. During the week-long workshop, participants also had time to develop their own photography projects, some of which will be discussed in this post.

Melanin Matters – Skin tone differentiation in Lagos, Nigeria (Part 1)
In November 2024, PhD student Marion Grimberg and podcast host Friederike Brinker travelled to Lagos, Nigeria, to talk about skin tone differentiation. We also recorded a podcast episode during our workshop for wome*n called “Living in your own skin”. For the podcast we conducted our usual interview with a scientist (in this case: three scientists), and also included shorter interviews with workshop participants who shared their personal experiences with skin tone differentiation.

Rassismus darstellen – Wie wirkt experimentelles Theater?
In dem Theaterstück „Enjoy Racism“ wird das Publikum nach Augenfarbe getrennt – die blauäugigen dürfen der Performance der Moderatorin „Marie Caroline Blanche“ live verfolgen und bekommen sogar ein kleines Buffet, die Braunäugigen werden in einen kellerartigen Raum gebracht und verfolgen die Show nur über einen Bildschirm. So soll das Publikum am eigenen Leib erfahren, wie sich Diskriminierung und Rassismus anfühlen.
