“Don’t Touch My Hair” an immersive art experience
Our team was honored to help bring the rich history of Black women’s hair to life—from before chattel slavery to the present—for the immersive art exhibit, Don’t Touch My Hair, produced by Ayana Morris.
We developed the creative concepts for each era, handcrafted costumes, and provided photography. Our founder served as Assistant Creative Director and hosted conversations at live events in New Jersey and during Miami Art Basel.
The exhibit explored eight eras:
Community: Before slavery
Bondage: 1619–1865
Escape: 1800s
Assimilation: 1910s–1940s
Resistance: 1950s
Survival: 1970s
Revival: 1980s–early 2000s
Embrace: Present day
