Marcia Kure (Kano 1970 - ) creates a series of elaborately braided sculptures in the form of hair fascinators. Within certain African cultures hairstyles are used to communicate an origin story, occupation, or social status. These sculptural pieces were created in collaboration with lock braiders, tradesmen, and stylists in Nigeria— further supporting an interlocking system of craft making and community.
