Gallery FIFTY ONE | May 7 - July 9, 2022
Gallery FIFTY ONE proudly presents ‘My Hair, My Soul, My Freedom’; an exhibition celebrating the diversity, artistry and beauty of black women’s hair through the work of two very different artists. From cornrows, to braids, locks, weaves, natural or straightened hair; the diverse array of black hairstyles (or ‘crowns’, as they are called in Afro-American slang) has an historic, social and spiritual meaning, and plays an important role for the identity of black women in today’s society.

Hair is a fundamental part of the human body that is fraught with expectations about beauty, identity, age, gender, and race. On view through June 25th at the Colorado Photographic Arts Center, Culture of Hair gathers a diverse group of five women artists whose photographic work explores the multifaceted meanings of hair to gain more understanding on a subject that is at once universal and distinctive.
