Crown Connections: A Braiding Workshop Inspired by "This Crown Belongs to US"
Facilitated by Courtney Brooks


Join us for "Crown Connections," an empowering and hands-on workshop inspired by Courtney Brooks' powerful fiber art installation, "This Crown Belongs to US."
This special event, presented by Journey of a Black Girl, you to connect, share, and celebrate the artistry and cultural significance of Black hair braiding. Just as the oversized braids in the exhibition highlight the creativity and importance of Black hair practices, this workshop offers a space to learn, practice, and build community around this cherished tradition.
Come ready to learn, connect, and embrace the beauty and power of our hair.
