Hair - a carrier of information, a feature of identification and a sign of belonging
Hair has always been used as a political statement and an expression of personal beliefs. As a means of public representation and intimacy, hair marks social upheavals, documents changes and has the potential for transformation and self-empowerment. Hair serves as a (sub)cultural code, a symbol of political power and emancipatory liberation, and the subject of body politics and queer discourses.
Grow It, Show It! is the first comprehensive photographic exhibition in Germany on the subject of hair. Historical and contemporary photographs, videos and film excerpts show body hair or its absence and illuminate it from various content-related, formal-aesthetic and media perspectives. In addition to an extensive photo series, the catalogue contains an artistic intervention and ten interdisciplinary texts that illuminate the complex of topics from an art and cultural studies perspective. The focus is on the political, religious and social dimensions that manifest themselves in art, fashion and advertising photography. With essays by the curators Miriam Bettin and Thomas Seelig as well as Monilola Olayemi Ilupeju, Shahram Khosravi, Alma Kittner, Annekathrin Kohout, Johanna Kuroczik, Helga Lüdtke, Adebayo Quadry-Adekanbi, Jörg Scheller, Bernd Stiegler and Lori L. Tharps.
