{"product_id":"65275-black-masculinities","title":"Black Masculinities","description":"Black Masculinities uses the medium of contemporary photography to showcase the broad spectrum and impressive diversity of Black masculinity. Captured through the lenses of 22 Black (or) People of Colour (BPoC) from all over the world, the stereotypical entanglement of Black identity and masculinity is deconstructed and imbued with a new set of values. Embedded in a long history of slavery, racism, and oppression, Black masculinity is often subtly portrayed as aggressive, hypersexual, and violent to this day. These common mechanisms of representation in visual culture are not only broken down in this volume through carefully edited imagery by the artists but are also complemented and made visible by a textual layer. Since the beginnings of photographic history, BPoC photographers have remained underrepresented at all possible levels of art production. This photobook functions as an introductory index and platform for precisely these photographers, creating sustainable visibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eWITH PHOTOS BY: Kemka Ajoku, Kwaku Alston, Namafu Amutse, Eric Asamoah, Nuits Balnéaires, Arielle Bobb-Willis, Braylen Dion, Kofi Duah, Yannis Davy Guibinga, Jabari Jacobs, Kelvin Konadu, Jude Lartey, Naomi Mukadi, Maganga Mwagogo, Lakin Ogunbanwo, Ruby Okoro, Rogers Ouma, Micha Serraf, Ngadi Smart, Isaac West, Jozef Wright, Ussi’n Yala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJOSHUA AMISSAH (*1995, Switzerland) studied Fine Arts, Photography, and Design at the Zurich University of the Arts.
