A blog dedicated to the Hair Project, with all the stories collected about hair (in EN) and the documents (books, art work, info, references, web links,…) collected around the same theme of hair during the process of creation of the Hair Jewels.
Documents and stories are tagged according to topic (sociology, economy, religion, gender, politics, history, culture, gender, symbolism,… ), kind of documents (films, documentaries, books, music, other artistic works using hair), kind of hairstyle (dreadlocks, blond, black hair, short,…. ) and geographic area (including community).
The Hair Project consists of 3 interacting parts: the pieces of wearable jewellery including hair, the stories and the blog.
You can still participate in writing us your Hair Story or sharing any info or document about this topic, on the blog or here
