Mark your calendars for January 29th as we celebrate from 12noon - 5p the 1 year anniversary of the BMI: Black Male Identity Project as the Reginald F Lewis Museum!! I was honored to be part of such an amazing project and can't wait to see what the new year will bring.

See my contribution to this project here!

Also on the 29th is the opening of their new exhibit Dandy Lion: Articulating a Re(de)fined Black Masculine Identity which will be on exhibit January 29 – May 13, 2012.

Twenty emerging photographers and filmmakers present refreshing images of young black men who challenge popular notions of urban black masculinity. Guest curated by Shantrelle P. Lewis, this exhibition defies the negative image of the black male as “thug” and explores contemporary expressions of the “Black Dandy,” the sophisticated urban gentleman whose “swagger” engages both African aesthetics and elements of classical European fashion.
