Smithsonian's 'The Will to Adorn': black hair and cultural identity
Ethnic beauty, hair health, hair mythologies and the art of hair adornment among black women and black men will be the focus of “Heads Up,” a program organized by the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum.
During the program, scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday, anthropologist and curator Diana Baird N’Diaye and aesthetic surgeon Monte O. Harris will discuss historical and cultural aspects of black hair. The museum has asked participants to bring their own “hair stories” and share hair photos.
“Heads Up” is part of “The Will to Adorn: African American Dress and the Aesthetics of Identity,” the Smithsonian’s larger ongoing cultural research project on folk life and heritage. “Will to Adorn,” which explores the history of dress, traditional art, hairstyles and body adornment in the African Diaspora, will present its findings at the 2013 Folklife Festival Program on the Mall.
