Bald Black Girl(s)
Bald Black Girl(s) is a multidisciplinary project which centres the experiences of bald and low shaven Black women in the UK. It leans into conversations and themes around women choosing to shave their heads including: perceptions of masculinity, femininity and androgyny; barbershop dynamics as a woman; explorations of sexuality and more. The project culmination thus far has been an exhibition showcasing photography and a poetry film; a workshop and a live performance night. Exhibitions and events were held at Free Word Centre, Unit 5 Gallery & Roundhouse (London, 2019) and will be held at Ort Gallery, Birmingham in September 2020.
