In December 2014, the arrival of the South African artist Brett Bailey's controversial Exhibit B to Paris resulted in a number of demonstrations in which the Collectif/Brigade Anti-Négrophobie participated along side the Centre Dumas-Pouchkine des diasporas et cultures africaines, the Alliance noire citoyenne et the association L'Amozaïk. Before its arrival, Exhibit B had been widely criticized for its recreation of the infamous human zoos of the 19th century. It uses live actors drawn from the local population to recreate twelve living scenes that are reminiscent of those earlier human zoos. Although intended to denounce colonial exploitation, the exhibition has been interpreted as highly offensive and racist, leading to its closure in London (September 2014) following widespread demonstrations. Unlike London, however, the exhibition in Paris gained the support of the Ligue des droits de l'Homme, the Mouvement contre le racisme et pour l'amitié entre les peuples (Mrap) and Ligue internationale contre le racisme et l'antisémitisme (Licra), and was deemed by a Paris tribunal not to harm human dignity and that its closure would be considered an affront to the freedom of expression.
