The identity of the black dandy

Ekow Eshun is the curator of 'Made You Look: Dandyism and Black Masculinity' - a photography exhibition exploring how black men have historically used fashion as a political statement, to subvert western stereotypes of black masculinity. He told Dan Damon how clothing and style can operate as a means of combatting racial discrimination.
