Dandy Lion (Re)articulating Black Masculine Identity, Opening Reception and Gallery Talk – a Africa interest event taking place on 2017-02-23 00:00:00 in United States
Thursday, February 23, 2017, 7 – 9pm
Opening Reception and Curator's Talk by Shantrelle Lewis.
Dandy Lion: (Re)Articulating Black Masculine Identity seeks to distinguish the historical and contemporary expressions of the Black Dandy phenomenon in popular culture. The first comprehensive exhibition of its kind, this project highlights young men in city-landscapes who defy stereotypical and monolithic understandings of Black masculinity by remixing Victorian-era fashion with traditional African sartorial sensibilities. Using their self-fashioned bodies as sites of resistance, contemporary Black Dandies are complicating modern narratives of what it means to be Black, masculine and fashionable today. Dandy Lion: (Re)Articulating Black Masculine Identity features work from emerging and renowned photographers and filmmakers from the US, Europe and Africa.
