This shooting is a powerful visual answer to the question “What does it mean to be colored?”. The artist Lisa Minogue made her models posing very solemnly. This series is inspired by a conversation she had with a young model who was confronted to racism. The young woman did not understand why an agency refused her, saying that they already had “one of them” meaning a black woman. Lisa Minogue has always been very concerned with social issues as discrimination and culturel appropriation. With this project, she confronts us with this reality: there are 54 different countries in Africa and we never figure out that there might be also 54 different looks. To read the detailed answers of each girl, you can go on Liberation Images.
