The Curl Talk Project

A powerful exhibition is set to open at Granary Square in King’s Cross which will explore what it means to have curly hair in a society where straight hair is still seen as a condition for beauty.

‘The Curl Talk Project’, which runs between Tuesday 8 March and Sunday 10 April, will share the realities of over 30 women from a diverse range of countries, backgrounds and ethnicities who have each felt pressured to look a certain way.

Launching on International Women’s Day and coinciding with Women’s History Month, the exhibition aims to empower and inform the public through a series of stunning portraits and insightful stories which take an intimate look at the lives of the curly-haired women.

The exhibition is the latest in a series of always-on, always-free and always open art on the streets of N1C as part of The Outside Art Project. The project is made up of 30 double-sided benches located throughout the open spaces and public squares of King’s Cross, turning it into one of the largest outdoor gallery spaces in London.
