The History and the Hair Story: 400 Years Without A Comb

Jan. 16-Mar.6

The Museum at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido takes visitors on a journey through pivotal events in our country’s history. Coinciding with the origin of civilization to the civil rights movement to our present culture, the comb’s untold story takes the spotlight by way of artifacts, photography, historical accounts, propaganda, and more. The History and the Hair Story examines 400 years of changing hairstyles and the corresponding historical and political climates that led to them. Starla Lewis, Professor of Black History at San Diego Mesa College and frequent guest lecturer at the Women’s Museum of California, curates the exhibition. 760.839.4138, artcenter.org
