Within the narrow confines of the Neil L. and Angelica Zander Rudenstine Gallery, the scenes of rage, shame, and transcendence captured by late photographer Rotimi Fani-Kayode seek to overcome conventions. The provocative images of “Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989)”, an exhibit hosted by the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research, engulf and overwhelm with the impact of shamanic vision.Rotimi Fani-Kayode was a conflicted man. He describes himself as an “outsider on three counts: in matters of sexuality; in terms of geographical and cultural dislocation...
...athletes they kicked out? No. Because Kenteris and Thanou were singled out, Greece had to endure two weeks of innuendo and sniping: whispers of "dopers" and "cheaters" were heard after every Greek success. (Thankfully, we were able to savor some moments of triumph, not least when Fani Halkia, our 400-m hurdler, scored a surprise gold and helped redeem - in Greek eyes, anyway - the country's bruised track-and-field reputation.)

That exuberance filled Athens during the Games, drowning out the doubters...
...this point at least - clean. The U.S. ran wild last week, taking home 24 track and field medals, 8 of them gold. The rest of the world had its moments: Jamaican sprinter Veronica Campbell won two sprint golds, again cementing the Caribbean's niche in sprinting. And Greece's Fani Halkia thrilled the host country by winning the 400-m hurdles. But the Americans swept both the men's 400- and 200-meters, finished one-two in the long jump and the pole-vault, and won gold in two relay races (the men's and women's 4X400...
None of the Mapplethorpe illustrations portray sex acts, although two photos by Rotimi Fani-Kayode show two black men in a sexual pose and a black man's behind juxtaposed in front of a bronze head...
