My Hair, My Crown by Brigitte Fässler

Brigitte Fässler's "My Hair, My Crown" is a remarkable project that pays tribute to the exceptional beauty of Afro-textured, curly, and coily hair. Fässler, an expert in video and new media art, has created a visually stunning representation of hair in various styles that exudes emotional power and vitality.

What makes "My Hair, My Crown" even more poetic is its intimate connection to Fässler's daughter and their journey towards greater self-assurance and self-love. Through discussions with her partner and working on the project, Fässler has gained a deeper understanding of her children's experience as girls and women of colour.

The project's positive and encouraging atmosphere is evident in the women's experiences who participated. Fässler's daughter's reaction, "Wow, look at all the women here with hair like mine!" highlights the significance of representation and how seeing oneself reflected can bring happiness and empowerment. It's worth noting that this project is women-led, both in front of and behind the camera, which is truly inspiring.
