Ponita Keo
The hair between us begins with Ponita Keo’s curiosity towards her grandmother’s and mother’s relationship with their hair, unfolding into a wider search for understanding the culture of hair in Cambodian society. The visual narratives include stories of elder women shaving their heads as an act of letting go of worldly attachments to beauty imposed on women, customs surrounding hair in both traditional and contemporary expressions that defy gendered assumptions, and the everyday spaces where hair is shaped, styled, and cared for, including the widespread beauty salon industry in Cambodia.
