Dandy Lion photography exhibit extended through May 31 at Hammonds House Museum
EntSun News/10772886
ATLANTA - April 15, 2019 - EntSun -- Dandy Lion: (Re) Articulating Black Masculine Identity, the popular photography exhibition at Hammonds House Museum, has been extended through May 31, 2019. Curated by Shantrelle P. Lewis and organized by the Museum of Contemporary Photography, the exhibit examines global black dandyism, men with a penchant for color and a taste for refined fashion. Black dandyism is not new; originating in England's Age of Enlightenment slave culture, it has continued for generations in black cultures around the world. Now, set against the backdrop of hip-hop culture, the newest iteration of dandies is redefining what it means to be black, masculine, and fashionable. Experience Dandy Lion at Hammonds House Museum in historic West End, 503 Peeples Street SW, Atlanta, GA 30310.
"We've had amazing response to the Dandy Lion exhibit and are excited to extend it so more people will be able to experience this visual story of black men's use of fashion as a means of personal expression, social resistance and rebellion," states Leatrice Ellzy, Executive Director of Hammonds House Museum. "We hope the exhibit will spark conversations and ultimately challenge viewers' ideas and preconceived notions about black masculinity."
