Brief Explanation

The Human Billboard shows in a shocking way the indelible marks that racist comments leave on their victims. The CRAN, an association that fights for the rights of black citizens in France, asked on its social media platforms for people to share the racist insults that had left an emotional scar in their soul. We took those insults and tattooed them on the body of a black man who walked the streets of Paris the day after the presidential elections to to show France and the whole world the harmful marks that racism leaves on its victims.
