Reviews
Systemic change is already afoot, with many of Sargent's chosen photographers expanding the scope of their work... Righting historical wrongs is one of Sargent's goals. --Radhika Seth, Vogue ...explores and expands the visual narrative on beauty and identity in mainstream culture, but also on ideas specific to gender. --Rebecca Carroll, WNYC These photographers are spearheading a new aesthetic in fashion and art, and are currently some of the most sought-after names in the business. --Kemi Alemoru, The Guardian The sheer size of emerging talent featured in The New Black Vanguard: Photography Between Art and Fashion, a new book by the curator, critic, and W contributor Antwaun Sargent, is astonishing. --Stephanie Eckardt, W The New Black Vanguard is a celebratory and thought-provoking mesh of fashion and art. --Eni Subair, Refinery29 With photos illuminating life in Black America and the African diaspora, these artists are crafting a new way of speaking visually about politics and representation. --Devine Blacksher, The Cut The survey includes 15 portfolios of work form women and men; it serves as a resource for editors and curators, a snapshot of the changing fashion and fine-art landscapes, and a celebration of black beauty in all of its guises. --Jacqui Palumbo, Artsy The artists of The New Black Vanguard are telling stories of social and political inclusivity, advocating for a wider celebration of beauty and the self--a powerful antidote for a group previously marginalized in mainstream fashion and culture. --Gemma Fletcher, Elephant A cohort of contemporary black photographers are doing just this: querying the colour-blindness of arts establishments by showing how these figures should be depicted. --Kadish Morris, Frieze The book, Sargent stresses, doesn't offer a monolithic perspective on the black body and the black subject but rather diverse representations of blackness from all over the world. --Daphne Milner, AnOther
