Idols of the Tribe | Airport Show Exhibition Reception | Atlanta

About this event

How we choose to identify ourselves often categorizes us. In many first world cultures, especially in the USA, we do not stay in the environment we were raised in. We often find ourselves alone, searching for an identity separate from our immediate family. Hairstyles, clothing, ideals, ant the like, are all aspects of society that we willingly expose ourselves to in order to connect with similar people. No matter the race, religion, gender, or socioeconomic status--those people are part of your tribe.

Idols of the Tribe is an exploration of identity. Though this is planned as an ongoing project, these images represent two black Americans and their search for "tribe".
