Hemlines of Meryton, 2026

In this vibrant portrait of the five Bennet sisters, Ghanaian artist Benjamin Asante brings Austen’s world into the language of contemporary fashion and self-expression. Each sister emerges through dress, gesture, and the objects she carries, while their obscured faces challenge the impulse to judge women by appearance alone. Regency silhouettes meet modern style, transforming Meryton into a world that feels unmistakably now. At the center, Elizabeth holds Sermons to Young Women, nodding to expectations of conduct even as the sisters’ clothes push toward freedom, self-fashioning, and choice. Hemlines of Meryton turns sisterhood into a celebration of difference.
