Black EXCELLENCE!
Last year, Koudou and Sunday School put on an interactive exhibition at Brooklyn's Okay Space Gallery, which recreated the convivial atmosphere of her family's salon, and featured braiding workshops led by her aunts, as well as live poetry and musical performances from local artists.Koudou says,"shows the intimate hair braiding experience between a braider and her child," while the second focuses on the relationship between client and braider in a salon environment.
Koudou says it's crucial to share her experience growing up in the hair braiding community because"people from the outside looking in don't know what it's like for us braiders." Conversely, people aren't widely aware of how traditional African braiding, an often painful experience for both braider and client, can make for a truly unique bonding experience.
"The same way clients feel pain when getting their hair braided, is the same way we feel pain when we're standing on our feet for long hours," Koudou explains."The same way kids feel pain from getting their hair done the night before school, is the same way braiders feel pain wrestling with them so they can stay still. Nevertheless, seeing the satisfaction on people's faces after their hair is done is worth all the pain.
Despite the painful process, the finished product upholds a longstanding Black cultural tradition of celebrating natural hair, its versatility and sense of pride in the wearer.project highlights the African hair braiding experience and celebrates the beauty of African braids," Koudou says."It is important for people to acknowledge and appreciate the struggles that African hair braiders go through to make the clients look beautiful.
