Les Rencontres d’Arles 2021: July 4 – September 26, 2021 Arles’ photography festival returns after a year’s hiatus with a new director, Christoph Wiesner (formerly of Paris Photo), and some 40 photography shows dotted around the ancient French city. Highlights include The New Black Vanguard: Photography Between Art and Fashion, a celebration of Black creativity and “the cross-pollination between art, fashion, and culture in constructing an image”; and Masculinities: Liberation Through Photography, a photographic exploration of the many guises masculinity can take, featuring work by Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Peter Hujar, Ana Mendieta and more.
