‘ALL THAT MAN IS - Fashion and Masculinity Now’ ? An exhibition curated by @chiaranonino at @base_milano which will explore the concept of manhood by showing how contemporary photographers are addressing the subject ? #PHOTOVOGUEFESTIVAL ? From Thursday November 15th to Sunday November 18th ✨ Free entrance - You’re all invited!
Today we introduce Andrea Robbins and Max Becher ‘s work on display - ‘Black Cowboys: Kareem, Harlem Block Party, NY, NY, 2009’ ✨For the show, we asked the exhibited photographers ? ‘What does it mean to be a man today?’ ? ‘The cowboy, one of America’s most enduring and masculine cultural icons, is identified with the white gunslinger in the popular imagination. However, at the height of the nineteenth century over one-third of cowboys were African American. Black cowboy culture has continued to thrive across the United States yet remains largely unknown to the general public. Black cowboys (and cowgirls) participate in national rodeos, trail rides, and reunions that celebrate a proud history and reinforce family ties. Fashions include styles made famous in westerns, but also incorporate elements of soul and hip hop that are constantly evolving. Black riding clubs host annual trail rides in which horseback riders and horse-drawn wagons solicit attention, snaking through country roads and along busy city streets. But the tenacity of this image is negated as novelty because it conflicts with pervasive negative stereotypes of the Black American male. Many could otherwise be mistaken for the famous Marlborough man, if not for this stereotype which causes them to be seen and then unseen. In this case the power of change is in the eyes of the spectator.’ #AndreaRobbins #MaxBecher
