  • More about Black Masculinities: creating emotive utopias through photography


Black Masculinities explores the broad spectrum and diversity of Black masculinities through the medium of contemporary photography, deconstructing and charging the stereotypic entanglement of Black identity and masculinity with new values.

Format: Hardback
Length: 320 pages
Publication date: 29 June 2023
Publisher: Hatje Cantz


Black Masculinities delves into the vast and diverse range of Black masculinities through the captivating medium of contemporary photography. Through the eyes of 22 Black (or) People of Color (BPoC) hailing from diverse corners of the world, the traditional association between Black identity and masculinity is dismantled and infused with a fresh set of values. Rooted in a long history of slavery, racism, and oppression, the trope of Black masculinity continues to be subtly portrayed as aggressive, hypersexual, and violent even in modern times.

This visually stunning book offers a comprehensive exploration of the prevalent representation mechanisms in visual culture through meticulously curated images and contextual textualization. Serving as an introductory guide and platform for BPoC photographers, who have historically been underrepresented in all aspects of art production, it brings their remarkable work to the forefront, making it accessible to a broader audience.

The featured photographers in this remarkable publication include 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, Ussin Yala.

Their diverse perspectives and artistic approaches shed light on the multifaceted nature of Black masculinities, challenging stereotypes and promoting inclusivity. Black Masculinities serves as a powerful testament to the richness and complexity of Black identities and the significance of representation in shaping our understanding of the world.
