Hair Journey [Dialogue Session]

"Attention - The Time for Feasting is Over" Dialogue Sessions

Join The Outspoken Native for an interactive and transformative session on 7th February 2025, 18:30, as part of our exhibition "The Time for Feasting is Over."

This session, titled Hair Journey, explores the profound impact of colonialism on perceptions of women’s hair. Discover the historical, political, and personal significance of hair and how these narratives continue to shape societal biases today.

💬 What to Expect:

• Reflect on personal experiences with hair through poetry and group discussion.
• Learn about the history behind biases, from colonial-era pseudoscience to modern media representations.
• Engage in meaningful conversations about how history has shaped your role—whether benefitting or burdened by these biases.
• Leave with actionable steps to challenge internalized standards and support those affected by these biases.

✨ Bring a Friend! To ensure a diversity of perspectives, we encourage you to invite someone with a different heritage in terms of historical relationship to colonialism.
