The salon / created by Korantema Anyimadu.

"I made this zine because hair occupies a beautiful yet contradictory place for Black women, somewhere in between love, pain, self-expression and oppression. This project has been a product of four years of research, interviews, funding applications, writing, sketching (a little bit of hair pulling) and I'm so happy you're here to share it. In this zine, you can find photos and stories from the exhibition I curated, Plaits, Princesses + Pink Moisturiser, which centred on objects, nostalgia and amazing women, femmes and non binary people who are making waves in their community. The exhibition ran at Walthamstow Library, Locus of Walthamstow and The Migration Museum, and won a Making History award from the Mayor of London. This zine was made possible by the Waltham Forest, London Borough of Culture and is dedicated to Khadija, Uncle Kwame and Grandma Korantemaa who told me to remember 'be proud of your hair, it is your crowning glory, your treasure'."--From page 67.
