My Hair, My Crow
My Hair, My Crown
"In response to my daughter‘s dissatisfaction with her hair, I started to engage intensively with the topic of representation and the search for identity. That's how the idea for My Hair, My Crown came about. [...]
As Black girls, my daughters experience other things than those I experienced as a white girl.
Working on this project has not only strengthened my daughters, but also me. It helps me to better understand my children‘s questions and insecurities and to develop solutions as a family."
