Exposition
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Culture is constantly being created and shaped by all of us. Every individual contributes to this ongoing process - including barber and anthropologist Rayn Ramkishun and photographer and director Patrick Kenawy. Together, they present Fades, a unique exhibition that is also a fully operational barbershop.
Through photography, text, short film and a operational barbershop and photography studio, Fades highlights the artistry of the "fade" haircut while also exploring the deeper cultural narratives behind it - stories, traditions, and identities that shape this craft.
Starting Friday, March 14, the Van Eesteren Museum (@vaneesterenmuseum) will temporarily transform into a barbershop to host this special exhibition. The opening evening will begin at 18:30 and continue until late, with Deputy Mayor Sofyan Mbarki officially launching Fades by being the first to receive a haircut. The exhibition runs from March 14 to 23 - If you can't make it to the opening, you can still visit the exhibition on the following days afterwards. This exhibition has been made possible thanks to Gemeente Amsterdam.
