Beautifully decorated hair combs, daring wigs, meticulously braided jewelry and a warm sweater made from hair. Wereldmuseum Rotterdam opens the new exhibition Hair Power on 9 July. A unique and extensive exhibition about the power of human hair. Placed in the spotlight with masterpieces from the museum collection and contemporary work by artists.
In Hair Power, multiple themes bring out the layering of our hair. Through identity and beauty, for example. Who decides what beautiful hair is? Where do those beauty ideals come from? Or the feeling of intimacy, both in mourning jewelry and in the hairdresser’s chair. But also: empowerment. We celebrate the positive impact hair can have on people and entire societies!
