Amazigh Hair Couture

Through braiding, adornment and ritual, the exhibition explores how hair carries stories of memory, beauty, resistance, and identity, especially within matrilineal Amazigh cultures. What was once objectified and exoticised through colonial and ethnographic lenses is here reclaimed as a vibrant language of self-expression, sovereignty, and cultural pride. Contemporary artists reimagine inherited forms to reflect the strength, creativity, and dignity embedded in these traditions. Moving from archival material to present-day practice, the exhibition affirms hair as a medium of continuity and transformation. Ultimately, Amazigh Hair Couture offers a compelling statement on the politics of care, representation, and the artistic legacies passed from one generation to the next.
