Art & Culture
The Social Art of Braided Hair Exhibition
Although historically common in many civilisations: Norse, Greek and Native American, the art of braided hair is firmly rooted in African culture. This short exhibition will showcase braided hair as an art form, and the people who design it as artists. Produced by Art in the Docks and Nurture Academy
