“Hair is an extension of our bodies, often associated with strength, beauty, sensuality, and personal identity. It has been admired, detested, desired, rejected, used, and abused throughout history.
Literal and symbolic layers and extensions reveal tensions and intentions within culture and society.
Hair—whether short, long, shaved, straight, curly, or anything in between—embodies identity in Frida Kahlo’s brows, military crops, spikes, braids, dreadlocks, and fros.
Artists in the show examine societal and personal factors through various literal, metaphorical, and poetic expressions that explore the hairy, the scary, and the extraordinary in HAIR.” – Andrea Arroyo
