In her encyclopedic visual survey 'Let’s Take Back Our Space: ‘Female and ‘Male Body Language as a Result of Patriarchal Structures', Marianne Wex analysed the differences between female and male body language by assembling hundreds of images culled from advertisements, reportage, fashion magazines, studio portraits and art history alongside photographs she took of people in the streets of Hamburg.


What does it mean to be a man today? The Barbican's Masculinities: Liberation through Photography considers how masculinity has been coded, performed, and socially constructed from the 1960s to the present day.
