Edge Control exhibition uses hidden camera images to explore race and beauty
Original: Edge Control: the art exhibition using hidden camera images to explore race and beauty
A new art exhibition titled Edge Control is using hidden camera images to explore race and beauty. The show takes its name from the hair styling product used to smooth baby hairs, a practice closely tied to Black beauty culture, and repurposes surveillance-style imagery to question who is watched, judged and defined by standards of appearance. The Guardian highlighted the show, drawing attention to its examination of race, image-making and the politics of beauty.
Why now: The exhibition is newly covered by major media and touches on timely debates around race, surveillance and beauty standards.
