(MILLER, SANDRO) Edited by Anne Morin. Foreword by Angela Bassett. Poem by Patricia Smith. Skira, I00220518, 2022. 12 x 14 inches, 180 Pages. Hardcover. New/Slipcase.

A photographic panorama of the creativity and variety of Black women's hairstyles

In Crowns: My Hair, My Soul, My Freedom American photographer Sandro Miller (born 1958) celebrates the social endurance, cultural heritage and self-expression of Black women through their hairstyles. In this series of portraits, each subject is posed in front of either a strikingly black or vibrant geometric background that serves to highlight the models’ skin tones and accentuates their ultra-stylized hair, whether a halo of bright gold curls or crimson locks swept into an elegant bun. Each image is based on the relevant model’s “hair story” and pays homage to her personal fashion sense, documenting the many unspoken ways in which Black women assert their autonomy through their physical appearance. In this project, Miller seeks to recognize and honor Black women’s creativity and beauty while celebrating their social endurance and cultural memory at the same time. 9788857245584 Inventory Number: I00220518
