The Politics of Blackness and Beauty: Reflective Afro-Futurist & protective haircare workshop

Part One, facilitated by Day Eve Komet (1 hour): What does it mean to love ourselves as black people? In this reflective afro-futurist workshop we will explore, reflect and discover how to love ourselves from fragment to fullness. We will creatively explore what it means to love the historical, present and future possibilities of our blackness and how we can lovingly navigate ourselves within oppressive structures.

Part Two, facilitated by Precious Amarachi (1 hour): How do we protect our hair - a source of our beauty and power? With a semi-flexible format, at least basic protective hairstyles such as cornrows will be demonstrated - with time for play, experimenting, practice, and reflection.

Note: This workshop requires registration and is open to communities who have a historical connection to protective hairstyles. This will allow us to plan for the amount of resources needed. Register here.

This event is presented by the Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network as part of the Thinking Towards Feminist Futures event series.
