CUTICLE CULTURE

NEW!

PROJECT: WE’RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON A PROJECT ON THE CULTURE SURROUNDING NAIL ART. DIVING INTO WOMEN’S STORIES LIKE THE LEGENDARY FLO JO. EXPLORING THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN CULTURAL APPROPRIATION AND APPRECIATION.

EXPLORING HOW AS A YOUNG WHITE WOMAN LEARNING THE HISTORY OF NAIL ART AND THE CULTURAL CONTROVERSY IT IS STEEPED IN. HOW THAT MAKES FOR AN UNCOMFORTABLE EXPERIENCE. SHOULD IT BE THAT WAY? DO WE NEED TO BE MORE AWARE OF THE HISTORY SURROUNDING THINGS WE ENJOY? IS HAVING THE PRIVILEGE TO EXPERIENCE ‘IGNORANCE IS BLISS’ OR DOES THAT TRULY HURT OTHER COMMUNITIES.
