11: Cephas Williams – Fighting stereotypes, tackling racism and changing the narrative

Cephas is the founder and photographer of the 56 Black Men movement and Drummer Boy Studios. After taking a series of portrait photographs of 56 black men in hoodies, he launched '56 Black Men' as a campaign in the UK focusing on changing the narrative of black men in the media as an introduction to a much wider conversation. The campaign was a response to the question of why the prevailing headline news about black men was always surrounding knife crime or violence, and challenges these negative stereotypes, while spotlighting the positive achievements of the black men in the series.
