“The Bias Inside Us” explores the social science and psychology of implicit bias, its effects, and what we can do to recognize and counter it. This thought-provoking exhibition encourages visitors to examine their own biases through powerful imagery, interactive displays, and deeply personal stories.

The exhibition includes six core sections: Introduction, The Science of Bias, Bias in Real Life, Serious Consequences, #RetrainYourBrain, and Personal Reflection. Visitors will gain insight into how biases form, how they manifest in everyday decisions, and how they influence systems and institutions.
