Assuming the form of corporate brand guidelines, the White Man Identity Standards Manual offers a satirical exploration of the relationship between white male identity and power. Unflinching, witty and leading toward hope and change.
The simple, functional graphic forms that make up the manual's visual content are underscored by a deadpan narration, which, as you read on, reveals the book to be a thought-provoking exploration of just how deep the links between power and identity can run.
Dripping with corporate bullshit and beautiful utilitarian graphics, White Man™ offers a snappy but thought-provoking exploration of just how deep the links between power and identity can run.
Split founder Oli Bentley writes of the project "The format presents whiteness and maleness to be actively considered as identities, not the invisible 'default' against which so many are currently othered."
