SUMMARY:Crown: A Celebration of Black Hair
DESCRIPTION:March 24-April 12\, 2026 \nExhibit hours: 11-5pm Tue-Sun \nReception: Mar 27 from 7pm-9pm \n \nCrown: A Celebration of Black Hair celebrates the beauty\, legacy\, and joy of Black hair. Crown will feature the works of three renowned photographers whose artistry highlights the depth and diversity of Black hair across generations\, cultures\, and styles. \n \nThe Artists featured in this exhibit: \n \n• Robert Sipho Bellinger: An esteemed educator\, historian\, and photographer\, Robert brings over 40 years of archival photographs that document the evolution and cultural significance of Black hair. His work offers a historical lens on the beauty and resilience of Black hair\, showcasing intimate portraits that reflect the pride\, struggles\, and triumphs of the Black community over decades. \n \n• Jordan Naheesi: A Brooklyn-born\, Los Angeles-based creative multihyphenate\, Jordan has built a remarkable career as a photographer\, videographer\, designer\, and curator. His photography journey began at Ohio University\, where his passion for storytelling through visuals flourished. With nearly a decade of experience\, Jordan has captured some of the most influential cultural figures\, including Erykah Badu\, Smokey Robinson\, and Kyrie Irving\, and has worked with global organizations like SiriusXM. His vibrant\, contemporary work celebrates the individuality and artistry of Black hair in modern culture. \n \n• Najee Brown: The Artistic Director of the Multicultural Arts Center\, Najee is a Boston-based photographer with 20 years of experience capturing life through his lens. Born and raised in Brooklyn\, Najee’s work is deeply rooted in storytelling\, blending authenticity and creativity to celebrate the beauty of Black culture. Through Crown\, Najee explores the joy\, love\, and creativity expressed through Black hair\, capturing its magic and its role in shaping the cultural fabric of the world.  \n \nPhotographer Najee Brown shared his thoughts on the exhibition: \n \n“Black hair is a crown\, a symbol of beauty\, creativity\, and resilience. For centuries\, it has been a canvas for expression\, a source of pride\, and a target of misunderstanding. With Crown\, we reclaim that narrative\, focusing on the joy\, love\, and artistry that Black hair represents. This exhibit is a celebration of how Black people’s magic and culture continue to shape the world. It’s a love letter to our legacy and a testament to our power.” \n \nCrown is more than an exhibit—it is a celebration of identity\, heritage\, and creativity. Through photography\, storytelling\, and community engagement\, we invite audiences to experience the magic and cultural significance of Black hair \n \nArtwork image by Najee Brown
