The trailer for ‘Grow It, Show It!’ is online

From Afro, locs, braids or cornrows to bob, beehive or taper, hair is an integral part of our everyday culture and offers unlimited design possibilities. How we choose to show or hide, grow or shave  our head, facial and body hair is an expression of our personality, but also of our affiliation to social, political, religious or cultural communities.The exhibition Grow It, Show It! (13 September 2024 – 12 January 2025) at Museum Folkwang explores the historical, political and everyday cultural significance of hair through a wide range of historical and contemporary photographs, videos and film clips from art, fashion and social media.
