There
are a lot of places to find some damn good-looking braids. You can
start in your local salon, hit up Pinterest, or even find the style on
the red carpet. But until recently, you were probably pretty unlikely to
find them on museum walls. Chicago-based artist Shani Crowe is looking to change that. As she states in the notes for her photography exhibit, “Braids,” which is on display at MoCADA (the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts) in Brooklyn
through July, braiding is universal — but it strikes a particularly
intimate chord with African-American women. That’s to whom she’s
dedicated this series.
