Artist Shani Crowe honours traditional African hair braiding and celebrates black feminine beauty coiffeur in recent hairshow “BRAIDS”. Crowe’s show opened up on April 8 in Chicago, and features 10 black and white portraits of black women in crown-like hairstyles.<\/p>\n

Crowe’s technique is both impressive and delicate. The portraits and the women they feature emanate black feminine power and royalness!<\/p>\n

In an interview 27 year old Crowe told Fusion<\/a> :<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBecause [braids] are coming out in pop culture and being exploited as a trend in the fashion scene, I think it\u2019s important for me to honor them, before there\u2019s a time when people don\u2019t even remember them as a traditional black art. Plenty of cultures do their own braid styling, but African braiding has its own very long chapter in the history of braiding.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

BRAIDS<\/em> is a great demonstration of the power and sacredness of traditional African hairstyles and also an attempt at preserving them. In a period where cultural appropriation of black hairstyles has been rampant, BRAIDS<\/em> is an assertive and powerful medium through which the sacred tradition of African hair braiding is honoured, celebrated and preserved!<\/p>\n
