Fenty: Release 01, 2019

The first release highlights the work and message of photographer Kwame Brathwaite, a documentarian of the Black Is Beautiful movement of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Embracing the message on natural beauty and boundless strength, Fenty juxtaposes contemporary portraits of incredible black women and men alongside powerful pictures from Brathwaite’s archive where he championed women and men who refused to settle into society’s version of beauty. Creating a connection and a dialogue between past and present, Fenty pays homage to Brathwaite’s work and message by championing diversity, femininity and the power of black women and men.
