Photographer Souleymane Bachir Diaw Explores Identity Through Textiles and the Body
A new photo series featuring scarves, hijabs and a grand boubou examines themes of patriarchy, domestic violence and manhood rituals, according to The Guardian.
A photography exhibition by artist Souleymane Bachir Diaw uses textiles and images of the body to explore questions of identity, according to a report published by The Guardian's culture section.
The images, which feature garments including scarves, hijabs and a grand boubou, are described by the publication as carrying messages related to patriarchy, domestic violence and the rituals associated with manhood.
The Guardian presented the work as a photo gallery, framing the series as an attempt to "unmask" identity through the interplay of fabric and the human form.
Further details about the exhibition, including its location and exhibition dates, were not specified in the available source material.
