Come check out this Feminist Hair Wear!

This afternoon, at 4:30pm, we are proud to share with you all a selection of artist books and rare ephemera from the Joan Flasch Artist Book Collection at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. We will be convening at the MacLean Ballroom Balcony to enjoy light snacks, a short reading of texts involving hair as fantastic imagery, and to peruse artist books that have been made with hair fibers, bound with hair, or have the subject and illustration of hair within.

This gem from 1992, a “feminist hair wear” a la the inimitable Susan Sontag, and many more!
