PREMIERS AT 'THE GALLERY' ON REDCHURCH STREET, LONDON, ON THE 16-22 DEC 2013!
WHY I AM DOING THIS... BY THOMAS KNIGHTS
In the UK and throughout the world, being ginger and male comes with many stigmas attached. Many are bullied at school and for some, even later in life.
As far as I can see, no one has focused (or noticed) the huge, polarized gap between the way our society perceives red headed women (often the ultimate woman - think Jessica Rabbit) and red headed males (often emasculated and de-sexulized in film and TV - no Hollywood heroes - no leading men).
No other hair color has this level of gender inequality in any society, and RED HOT holds a mirror up to the pre-conceived limitations we put on the red headed males.
Essentially, what I’m doing is creating an exciting and revealing exhibition showcasing a positive outlook on the red-haired male, and aiming to re-brand the ginger male stereotype along the way.
