Haired is a multimedia art event developed around the theme of hair. Haired is a group exhibition that presents international artists and features interactive activities.
Haired explores hair as a concept: a synonym of identity; the most malleable part of the body; a tool available for creativity and a medium for artistic practice. Hair defines facial, physical, psychological, social and cultural expression. It is a channel through which the personal and collective self, find its way out into the world.
Through installations, site-specific pieces, photography, video, painting and performances, artists explore the concept of hair in multiple ways and through different angles, highlighting how hair serves as a marker of social class, age, marital status, racial and cultural identification, political and spiritual beliefs, gender and sexual orientation. Hair expresses people’s identity to the extent that different hairstyles represent a person’s different phases in life. Ultimately, Haired wants to present a fresh outlook on societies, cultures, trends and lifestyles through an unusual point of view.
The opening reception will feature Contesta Rock Hair Interactive Hair Styling Live Performance
