Lubumbashi photographers explore hair as a living archive

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

ACP reported on Kakibaruki, a photographic exhibition in Lubumbashi exploring African hairstyles as carriers of identity and memory. Ruth Mpombo connected the project to childhood experiences of school-imposed hairstyles and to the transmission of cultural knowledge. Fellow photographer Chris Mizangi described portraits pairing dreadlocks with knitted plant forms, examining how people inherit, reshape and carry their roots.
