It all began with an idea.

Black hair, and its symbolic nature in the black community, was where this show first began to form. Meditations on Black hair were born out of that idea, and explored by each artist in this selection of works. Passed down through the hands, hairstyles hold memories, products become powerful elixirs, and the bonds formed between people blossom from seeds sown by those who came before us.

We gathered artists who touch upon these symbols and stories through visual mediums, to celebrate the beautiful innovation of Black creativity.

We present to you: “Crépu : Our DNA”
