Visit the empowering exhibition series sharing portraits and stories of curly hair
“I use my hair to dismantle decades of negative messaging and wrong ideas coming from my family or society itself: black hair doesn’t grow, black hair can’t be beautiful unless it’s long with loose curls,” says Aude, from France, who is featured in the project.“Growing up, I could notice that straight hair was almost like a commodity the masses wanted to possess. A commodity tied with the notions of status, race and identity.
The Curl Talk Project was founded in 2017 by Johanna Yaovi to give women “the chance to tell their stories and begin to challenge society’s definition of beauty”. “It was important for me to launch The Curl Talk Project photography exhibition at King’s Cross on International Women’s Day, showcasing a diverse range of women from all ethnicities and backgrounds to the public. It’s a great way to show that whatever your circumstances, you deserve to be seen, heard and given a seat at the table,” Yaovi said of the exhibition.Sign up for the latest news and must-read features from Stylist, so you don't miss out on the conversation.
