Men Carrying Flowers, Vol. 2 // Ophelia Mikkelson Jones

A continuation of Ophelia's long-running project documenting the unexpected sightings of men carrying flowers. For more than 12 years the Aotearoa artist has captured quiet, chance encounters, small gestures of care, tenderness and everyday humanity. With contributions from 48 people across 31 cities, this volume explores images and stories from 2020-2026. This volume includes an essay by acclaimed writer and filmmaker Durga Chew-Bose, and celebrates the moments that often pass unnoticed. Men Carrying Flowers Vol. 2 invites us to look closer into the world around us.
