Growing up as a person of color forges resilience amid constant vigilance. From early on, rigid gender norms dictate how we should behave, penalizing any deviation from the norm. Navigating a world where self-expression feels restricted, we may feel boxed in by societal
expectations. With a central focus on quelling the traumas associated with Blackness and Black hair, “16.15.17” explores the transformative power of breaking these barriers and reclaiming our authentic selves.
The publication consists of 6 folded posters, held together with a belly band, 6″ x 9″.
