About this Event
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.
On Saturday 19th October there will be two workshops in the exhibition space, run by Nurture Academy;
11am-12pm, HAIR ART WORKSHOP; a workshop which allows young people the opportunity to express themselves, and articulate through art what hair means to them.
1pm-2.30pm, LEARN TO BRAID WORKSHOP; this workshop is lesson in hair braiding. Students will gain the ability, understanding and confidence to practice and excel in their braiding skills.
These workshops offer young people an opportunity to learn, connect and grow.
These will operate on a first come first serve basis. If you don't get into a workshop, you are still more than welcome to observe or just visit the exhibition.
