Unfortunately that fact doesn\u2019t dispel the stereotypes surrounding black men in society, and often those same prejudices make them so vulnerable in the hands of authorities.<br \/>\nDandyism is the radical personal politics that sees black men play with their identities and masculinity with willed and fabulous flamboyance. A new exhibition at London\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/thephotographersgallery.org.uk\">The Photographers&#8217; Gallery<\/a> explores this phenomenon from New York to Bamako focusing on the exquisite style and confidence of these dandies. While highlighting that dandyism isn\u2019t simply about sharp dressing but rather, consciously problematising ideas of male identity through dress and poise that is arresting and camp, the show offers images that are overlooked by the mainstream media.<br \/>\nCurator Ekow Eshun chose to focus on this aspect of black dandyism as black men are &#8220;simultaneously hypervisible and invisible to white society,&#8221; thus portraying them in flashy suits, bows, jumpsuits, and even platform boots. The group show features work from artists including Isaac Julien, Kristin-Lee Moolman and the Larry Dunstan Archive.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-33780 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/madeyoulook.jpg\" alt=\"Made You Look\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/> Left:\u00a0by Hassan Hajjaj, right: by\u00a0Jeffrey Henson-Scales<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-33785 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/05_PressImage-MUL-l-Malick-Sidib\u00e9.jpg\" alt=\"Made You Look\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1698\" \/> Photo by Malick Sidib\u00e9<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>&#8220;Made You Look&#8221; is on display at <a href=\"http:\/\/thephotographersgallery.org.uk\" target=\"_blank\">The Photographers&#8217; Gallery<\/a> in London from 15 July until 25 September 2016<br \/>\n<\/strong> \n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black dandies are fighting stereotypes and looking great in the process<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33784,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11856,139],"tags":[4980,4981,4982,4983,2632,3893,4984,4471,4985,4986,4987,4988,451],"class_list":["post-33686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sleek-art","category-art","tag-black-dandyism","tag-blackness","tag-colin-jones","tag-hassan-hajjaj","tag-identity","tag-isaac-julien","tag-jeffrey-henson-scales","tag-kristin-lee-moolman","tag-liz-johnson-artur","tag-made-you-look","tag-malick-sidibe","tag-samuel-fosso","tag-the-photographers-gallery"],"acf":{"main_category":null,"legacy":"1","exclude_from_ads":null,"hero_title":null,"subtitle":null,"hero":null,"teasers":null,"facebook_image":null,"related_articles":null,"next_article":null,"sleek_card_focus":null,"content":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Men Redefining Black Masculinity The Men Redefining Black Masculinity<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/black-dandyism-made-you-look\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Men Redefining Black Masculinity The Men Redefining Black Masculinity\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Black dandies are fighting stereotypes and looking great in the process\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/black-dandyism-made-you-look\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-07-13T10:22:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1\u00a0Minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
