Description:
This is both a sculpture and performance piece. Untitled: Hair is a reflection of Muslim/SWANA women rights in both the east and west and the oppression that seems impossible to escape. Unititled: Hair also touches upon a more personal narrative of belonging not belonging. Growing up and having a complex relationship with my curly hair in the west and being mixed raced. Then going back east and still not fitting in for numerous reasons. There’s no “home base” for many mixed people.
Each Item in the piece is a reminder of my home and my culture in Egypt. Keffiyeh, black hair, triangle structures and gold jewelry.
Hair is culture, Hair is personal, Hair is political.
belonging/not belonging, freedom/captivity
