Description
There is more to hair than washing, combing and cutting. It is an extraordinary, renewable fibre with a range of unexpected possibilities.
This exhibition puts the substance before the style and unlocks the untold stories of hair.
From jewellery and dresses to armour and environmental protection, the show highlights the qualities of hair as a material. It also explores our complex relationship with hair both on, and off, our heads – how and why we care so much about our hair, and how hair is entangled with society’s expectations and our relationships to others.
Weaving in stories from Forest Hill barbershops to the global hair trade, and featuring the work of artists, film makers and designers, Hair: Untold Stories is intimate, surprising and universal.
The exhibition also features an installation from Korantema Anyimadu. The hair shop installation explores the experiences of Black women and non-binary people with their hair in the UK.
