TEXTURES synthesises research in history, fashion, art, and visual
culture to reassess the "hair story" of peoples of African descent.
A fraught topic for African-Americans and others in the Diaspora,
artists, barbers, and activists address the topic of Black
hair,both the historical perceptions and its ramifications for self
and society today. TEXTURES explores the breadth of Black artists'
perspectives on hair vis-a-vis beauty, pride, and politics. Barbers
and activists address Black hair, from historical perceptions to
its challenges today. Combs, products, and implements from the
collection of hair pioneer Willie Morrow are paired with
masterworks from artists like David Hammons, Sonya Clark, Lorna
Simpson, Mickalene Thomas, and Alison Saar. The exhibition &
catalogue are inspired by Drs. Ellington and Underwood who research
preferential treatment of straight hair, the social hierarchies of
skin, and the power and politics of display.
