Grow it, show it!

Kim Kardashian wears it long, Johnny Depp more casual, Marilyn Monroe platinum blonde and Grace Jones razor short. Hairstyles and hair define how we see ourselves or how we want to be seen by others. The way we present or conceal head hair, underarm hair, leg hair, chest hair, whiskers or pubic hair can indicate ethnic, cultural and religious origins and thus also has to do with questions of identity. In a wide range of positions, historical and contemporary works by photographers and artists such as Diane Arbus, Julia Margaret Cameron, Anouk Kruithof, J. D. Okhai Ojeikere, August Sander and Cindy Sherman will be shown alongside advertising posters, record covers, YouTube tutorials and TikTok videos.
