Talk with Sandrine Micossé-Aikins and Beatrace Angut Oola

One’s appearance is political. Hair is political. Sandrine Micossé-Aikins, art scholar and head of the Berlin Conception and Consulting Center for Diversity Arts Culture, has published „People of the Comb. Contemporary Hair Politics in Ghana”. This book untangles the interweaving of beauty standards, social control, economic motivations, sexuality, and desire in Ghana. She shows how lived aesthetic practices could serve as resistance and self-design outside the sphere of white dominance.

Friday, 15.09.23, 8 p.m.
