The exhibition at NANZUKA 2G presents an inquiry into the idea of 'manhood' through the appropriation of famous American figures. By utilizing the iconography of characters such as Batman and Robin, the path of adolescence to adulthood and what that journey brings about is explored. In our current cultural system, the perception and expectation of masculinity itself is changing due to changes in the correlation between leadership roles and hyper masculinity. With this exhibition viewers are challenged to question where we are in the perception of who the hero is. Who are our leaders, who should we follow, and why?
