“I wanted to create images that portray black women in a way that would inspire them not to be necessarily pretty, which is what most beauty stuff is about, but to kind of embody that and more within themselves,” said Shani Crowe (@crowezilla). “Everything starts within you and how you feel about yourself.” For generations, black women have sat for hours on end having their hair woven to form the perfect braid. In many ways, the practice is a rite of passage, a collective experience across the African diaspora. @crowezilla, an interdisciplinary artist, has taken that communal tradition and spun it into “Braids,” now on view at the @mocada_museum in Brooklyn. The series of 10 black-and-white images illuminates the ancestral and modern-day relevance of hair braiding, drawing from a variety of influences. “No matter what the trend, braids are always going to be relevant in some way,” @crowezilla told the @ニューヨーク・タイムズ #Lensblog. “It’s kind of like you’re being protected by a cultural helmet of sorts.” Visit the link in our profile to see more images.
