A two-day virtual conference examining the politics, policing, and perception of African American and Afro Latina women’s natural hair in American society. Attend readings, panels, and workshops discussing the muted but invasive means by which society shames our natural hair from infancy through adulthood.

I will be on an artist panel on August 8th from 11-12:15 discussing a project I worked on 20 years ago on the subject of African & African American Hair as Sculpture.

The conference is 10:25am-3:30 pm, August 7th and 10:00am-4:00pm, August 8th.
