This Portrait Series Destigmatizes Black Men in Durags. AnnieBercy
, is a beautifully intimate look into her efforts to dismantle the negative stigma often surrounding Black men who wear durags.captured using a Bolex film camera, portray these men as the individuals that they are, rather than the racist generalizations they can be grouped into. Each model is seen wearing a different color durag, photographed in front of vibrant backdrops.
I targeted the Black and Spanish demographic in New York City for this project through a common necessity: durags. The men featured are great people I've met in the scene, all with completely different interests and goals, despite being in similar social circles. There are guys that DJ, rap, design clothing, founded a brand, model in campaigns, perform and contribute to the culture.Durags are often time connected to thugs, criminals and gangs in minority groups.
This project was built over time. So many small moments pushed me to see it through to the end: finding a creative use for these durags, investing in my idea, meeting and pitching this project to different types of men who I wanted to model in it, more meeting and catching up and/or getting to know more about these models and finally finding different ways to make them feel like themselves in front of the camera. It was quite exhilarating.
