Hair and Identity
Throughout history, hair has played an important role in the identity of humanity. For some, it is a form of beauty, and for others, a status symbol. For many, it is a testament to their spiritual beliefs, and they affirm their loyalty to their religion through the way they manage their hair. Over the years, hair has also become an important commodity, almost as valuable as gold.

How healthy is this commercial value of hair for our existence and the way we interact with each other as humans?

As a response to this question and its impact on our community, identity, diversity, and equality, the students of the IBB have created artworks addressing the consequences of the perception of what hair represents, as well as the prevailing commerce surrounding hair.
