With its different textures, grooming practices, interpretations, and symbolic values, hair provides a unique and timely entry point to understanding racialised and gendered belonging among different communities. Artists have long used hair as a material in art practice. Here, they explore hair as a material with affective potential and as a signifier of identity. The impact of the exhibition will be amplified by a day of performance and workshops at the Gulbenkian Theatre on campus.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition will feature Marina Abramovi\u0107, Zhu Tian, Sonia Boyce, Yuni Kim Lang, Jayoung Yoon, and Sonya Clark.<\/p>\n<p>Studio 3 Gallery is open 10am &#8211; 5pm, Monday to Friday, and the exhibition will close on Tuesday 17 March 2020.
