New Red Order’s exhibition The Last of the Lemurians tackles by New Age Lemurian beliefs and critically and humorously punctures their racist theories and romanticized conceptions. NRO metamorphizes the moving, sometimes toxic, dimension of historical narratives and their crystallization in the collective imagination. A hybridization of the native and the alien, The Last of the Lemurians makes light out of colonial desires, proposing an alternative to the romanticization of Indigeneity.
