Must-See: '2026,' Black Identity and Sexuality in Futuristic Fashion

Presenting a series of large-scale prints as part of Somerset House's UTOPIA 2016 exhibition, in London, Ibrahim Kamara and Kristin-Lee Moolman's "2026" confronts the way modern societies police the expression of identity. Focusing on the politics of male selfhood, their photographs are set in a utopian world ten years in the future. "'2026' is a perfect example of using clothing to consider how it can construct identity," Marshall says of the collaboration. "There is a movement, which Ibrahim and Kristin are part of, which has been referred to as 'New Africa.' Artists from Africa and its diaspora are creating a new aesthetic that explores multiple themes around belonging and identity."
