This poster series responds to Harrison Butker’s address at the 2024 Benedictine College Commencement, challenging his call to “embrace tradition” by highlighting the irony in his perspective. By juxtaposing historical representations of masculinity—such as those from ancient Greece, Rome, and the Renaissance—with modern NFL imagery mimicking these poses, the project exposes the narrow, Western-centric view of masculinity that Butker promotes. Through this contrast, the series critiques the fear of “cultural emasculation” and instead celebrates the diverse ways masculinity has been expressed throughout history.
