She then matched a strip of pixels from the noses to color cards from Pantone.[7] It is a catalogue of human skin colors that are displayed as a collage of Pantone portraits.[8] The display is intended to create a dialogue about how we see each other and how we view race, ethnicity and identity[9] and has included over 4,000 pictures of people in 17 countries and 27 cities around the world.[10] Humanæ is a traveling exhibit[11] and has been in such places as the Daelim Museum in Seoul, South Korea; the Uribitarte Promenade, in Bilbao, Spain; the Upho Urban Photo Festival in Malaga, Spain; the Museo della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci, in Milan, Italy; and Habitat III, UN Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, in Quito, Ecuador;[12] the Migration Museum in London,[13] Kingsport, Tennessee and International Photography Festival in Israel.[14]
