Beyond the Horse and Hat: The Carter Explores the Myriad Faces of the Contemporary Cowboy

Tarra Gaines·
Cowboy culture might be having a resurgence, but the image of the cowboy, the horse-ridding, 10 gallon hat-wearing spirit of rugged independence never leaves the zeitgeist for very long. Cowboy, at the Carter, sets out on its own western journey to explore the myriad of faces of the contemporary cowboy, yet it also asks if our new cowboy diversity is really all that different from the cowboys of the last two centuries.
