Created in response to a wave of anti immigrant sentiment in the United States, the work pays homage to African American hair braiding traditions while also drawing attention to the form of the book and its relationship to the human body. Placing the work in the context of contemporary Black North American artists working with hair, including David Hammons, Sonya Clark, and Chantal Gibson, Borsuk queried the way Banks implicates the reader in the objectification and inscrutability of another person.<\/p>\n\n<p>足彩app哪个是正规的 panel included talks by Tia Blassingame (Scripps College), Kari M.
