aflevering Monica Miller - Slave to Fashion:Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity artwork

Monica Miller - Slave to Fashion:Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity

In this episode of Slaves to Fashion, we take yet another look into the fascinating history of the Black dandy, tracing his roots from 18th century England to his modern presence in the cosmopolitan art scenes of London and New York.  I still think dandyism is such an odd thing for the colonialists to have come up with and adopted.  Weird.  I encourage you to pick up the book to take a look into the lives of iconic figures like Julius Soubise, a freed slave renowned for his flamboyant style in 18th century London, and Yinka Shonibare, a contemporary Afro-British artist who uses his art to offer a unique commentary on Black dandyism. And then poke out your chest in pride as you get familiar with how Black individuals transformed dandyism into a tool for self-expression and social commentary. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

aflevering Jamillah Scott, Janet Howard - Equestrian Noire artwork

Jamillah Scott, Janet Howard - Equestrian Noire

This stunning coffetable book is a collection of images caught my attention and I couldn’t wait to share it. “The pages of "Equestrian Noire" come alive with breathtaking photographs that capture the power, beauty, and grace of horses. Each image showcases the harmonious bond between these majestic creatures and the women who share their lives, creating an intimate and emotive visual narrative”.  It’s not only a unique look at the connection between man (or woman) and beast, but it’s a reminder that books can inspire new kinds of ways to explore the world.  I hope this inspires you to take a leap into the world of equestrianism. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
