Anthropologist Andrés Antebi Arnó examines the colonial context surrounding the arrival of the albino gorilla Nfumu Ngui in Barcelona 60 years ago. This talk explores the Ikunde acclimatization center in Bata, directed by Jordi Sabater Pi, and how the institution facilitated the extraction of animals and cultural artifacts during the colonial period in Spanish Guinea.
