In her new East London exhibition, Taiba Taiba uses intricate braiding techniques to deliver a poignant message about the power of Black culture.
– this marks her formal debut in the fine art space. Alongside images of standout projects she’s previously worked on, Taiba will also be presenting a series of contemplative sculptures, which see her apply her honed braiding techniques to found, quotidian objects like mirrors, stools and chairs.
Here, Taiba talks us through the process of putting the exhibition together, and expanding on the powerful, celebratory message about Black culture at its core. I wouldn’t. I really want the work to speak for itself and for people to take away from it whatever resonates or rings true to them. . What’s the message that you’re trying to convey with it?
Anyone that knows me knows that I use humour to convey important messages, which is what I am doing here.really comes from a place of frustration, pain and growth. All I've ever been taught is that Black hair is seen as difficult, and that the industry excludes us. Although things are slowly changing, I will continue to try to ensure that Black hair is celebrated and enjoyed by everyone. This is the biggest game-changer for me. The process has been so enlightening, emotional and exciting.
An important point I wanted to make was about the durability and practicality of the objects in contrast with how Black hair is perceived to be 'difficult' from a white default setting. The mirrors, for example, encourage you to look at your own reflection and contemplate how you look at the work, as well as to call the things you believe into question. My hair series with Burberry broke the internet so that is up there.
