Curated by Shantrelle P. Lewis, Dandy Lion: (Re) Articulating Black Masculine Identity is a photography exhibition which highlights the contemporary expressions of the Black Dandy phenomenon in popular culture. The Black Dandy celebrated in the exhibition is a self-fashioned gentleman who intentionally assimilates classical European fashion with African Disaporan aesthetics and sensibilities.
He is a rebel—a modern-day representation of the African trickster.
