Hairstyles from the smiling coast

When we look at the imagary we in the western world are presented about West-Africa, we usually see images of hunger, poverty and corruption. But we must dare to look beyond those images. When we examine this part of the world closer we see an abundance pf culture, tradition, a sense of style & fashion. This exhibition is meant to present and celebrate those images, highlighting this rich aspect of Gambian society, as well as showcase the diversity present in the smallest country on the African continent also known as The Smiling Coast.
