Four-month HairBrained Exhibition & Programs to Focus on Hair

Providence Public Library’s (PPL) fourth annual Exhibition & Program series called HairBrained is focused on hair. Specifically, the exhibition explores the ways in which hair defines and reflects culture, self-identity, agency, and politics. Meanwhile, the program series, which is inspired by images and texts in the exhibition, will offer cultural programs and educational activities for all ages that explore how and why we have grown, cut, shaved, shaped, woven, adorned and covered the hair on our heads, from centuries ago ’til today.

We invite Rhode Islanders to head to PPL (150 Empire Street, Providence) beginning with an Opening Night event on February 28 (6 – 8 pm). Exhibition materials will include books, prints, magazines, and photographs from Providence Public Library’s Special Collections. Items will be on exhibit during Library hours from March - June 2018.
