WHAT IS A MAN? Welcome to the 'notes on men' project!
This project poses a question on masculinity, inviting people to consider what is a man.
The project started as a collection of handwritten answers shared by people of all ages and walks of life to the question: "What is a man?"
The question is very open; answers can be as brief as a word or as detailed as the page allows... Answers can be in the form of a picture, or the page can be left blank.
The project has since evolved into a mixed media exploration of masculinity.
Thank you for being part of it!
Sincerely,
from James,
the creator of this project.
ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION All the answers in this book were collected between the years 2019 and 2021, by myself, James. I carried the book around with me everywhere I went, between Ireland, France, London and Cornwall.
This book is the original collection of answers and the first of a series of publications.
The answers that form the pages of this book were collected through conversation with friends, acquaintances, strangers and passers-by.
