About

The Brooklyn-based performance ensemble Urban Bush Women visits for the Bay Area premiere of Hair & Other Stories, a work exploring race, identity, and concepts of beauty through the lens of Black women’s hair. Inspired by founder and 2021 MacArthur Fellow Jawole Willa Jo Zollar’s HairStories (2001), the participatory performance is a work of activism, awakening, and engagement, asking the audience to move, comment, reflect, and bear witness.
