Reclaiming beauty

 

A research-based project exploring ways the beauty industry restricts our individualised concepts of beauty.  Gender, ageing, culture, sexuality, imperfection and self-love are part of our inquiry. 

​

A collaboration with Caroline Lamp, a rebellious hair artist and educator who runs her own salon ‘Outlaw Hairdressing’ based in Glasgow.  She began working in the beauty industry over 20 years ago.  Disillusioned with the inauthenticity she observed, she began a journey to redefine beauty for herself based on individual vs. imposed standards and norms. Her practice is one of enabling others to take this path. 

​

We would love to hear what beauty means to you, especially if you had a moment where you felt compelled to push back against external expectations. Pls email or message Teresa on WhatsApp at +44 7889558746.
