Hairbraids!? (portrait series)

a portrait series based on my thesis project:

Hairbraids!? consists of six small projections that showcase video portraits of female tourists who purchased souvenir hair braids from local vendors while on vacation in the Caribbean. Combined with the advertising language used by hair braiders, quotes from interviews with tourists with their hair braided, and Caribbean beach imagery, these portraits explore issues of tourist identity through the vernacular associated with the performance of souvenir hair braiding.
