The Inverse Color Perspective exhibit by Freddie Rankin!
Memphis-born Freddie Rankin II has been a photographic artist since he received his first camera at twenty years of age. Self-taught, Rankin has had a notable fascination with film photography, traveling across the Caribbean, Europe, and the United States, capturing what he deems a deeply “personal narrative…, the untold story of life as an African-American male in a cross-cultural world.”
Rankin worked as a backstage photographer for some of the worlds most luxurious fashion brands over the past three years. During that time the overbearing notion that there were very few people of color in those spaces was very hard to ignore. In between wardrobe changes and makeup, Rankin actively sought to document every model of color that walked the runway of each show.
The exhibit will be on display from 6:30PM to 9:00PM October 3rd and October 4th-18th from 12-6pm, Tuesday – Saturday.
