Gabriela Hasbun's The New Black West is a photographic collection documenting the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo, America's only touring Black rodeo. Through stunning images of Black cowboys and cowgirls, Hasbun challenges stereotypes about who belongs in the American West. The collection becomes both historical correction and celebration, proving that Black people have always been part of Western culture and that their stories deserve to be seen.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Hasbun documents a history that's been erased from popular imagination. These photographs remind us that the West has always been diverse, that Black cowboys are American cowboys, and that visibility matters.
