All things Hair and Visuality! Host Yndia is in conversation with Jasmine Nichole Cobb, author and scholar of African & African American Studies and of Art, Art History and Visual Studies on her new book, “New Growth: The Art and Texture of Black Hair.” Listen in as they discuss the hypervisibility and invisibility of Blackness found in the archives, art and mass media and the ways “natural” Black hair is captured; and the varied shifts in culture that inform the visuality and perceptions of Black hair and Black personhood in popular culture. A timely discussion, listen now! The post S4, Ep 033 with African American/Visual Studies author Jasmine Nichole Cobb on “New Growth: The Art and Texture of Black Hair” appeared first on Yndia Lorick-Wilmot, PhD.
