With this method he captures the body-builders of Porto Novo, showcasing the current generation of Africans caught between tradition and what would be seen as more ‘modern’ practices. Body-builders are nothing new within Africa, but Leonce has them bearing plastic flowers; a beautiful contrast to their masculinity all tied together with various traditional prints surrounding them.

Gay Men in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia 1953 Lesbians, gay men, and transgender people have always found ways to appropriate public spaces for themselves. Rittenhouse Square has been a meeting place for “queers” at least since the 1930s. In the 1950s and 1960s, the square was known as a place where gay men and lesbians coming into the city could meet others who would introduce them to the extensive urban homosexual “underground.” The tradition continued through the 1970s, when Philadelphia’s first gay pride parades began with a rally in Rittenhouse Square.
