Just love the work of @trevor_stuurman. Africa in a nutshell ♥️
...⠀
"A stereotype is “a reductionist concept that favours a few traits of a said group of people into one that will be acceptable, that then creates attitudes and emotions that mobilise fears and anxieties in the viewer”. The routine of hyper-masculine representation has been repeated historically at different periods in cinema and across media to depict black men as innately violent, aggressive, criminal and emotionally stunted. The fundamental issue with stereotypes is that they qualify racist, distorted perceptions or historical context of blackness, which lacks a deeper meaningful and complex depiction of black life that thus becomes accepted as the simplified way to characterise black men. “Nah” - Rosa Parks. We are black men. We are beautiful. We are our ancestors wildest dreams. We are enough. We are love. #RepresentationMatters #TeleportingIntoAfrica"
