The Van Eesteren Museum transforms into a temporary barbershop for the exhibition 'Fades', showcasing photography by Rayn Ramkishun and Patrick Kenawy. The exhibition delves into the cultural significance of the 'overloop' haircut, exploring the stories, traditions, and identities connected to this hairstyle.
From March 14 to March 23, 2025, the Van Eesteren Museum will host 'Fades', an exhibition by anthropologist and barber Rayn Ramkishun and photographer Patrick Kenawy. This project transforms the museum into a temporary barbershop, focusing on the cultural significance of the 'overloop' haircut. Through photography, the exhibition explores the rich tapestry of stories, traditions, and identities associated with this specific hairstyle and its surrounding culture.
Visitors are invited to experience this unique intersection of art, culture, and grooming, offering a deep dive into the social and personal meanings embedded within a popular hairstyle. The exhibition encourages a contemplation of identity and heritage through the lens of hair, tradition, and community, inviting guests to literally grow their hair until the exhibition and perhaps even get a haircut within the museum space.
