The three principal zeitgeist artists of ‘The Black Woman Is God’ Exhibition Presents ‘A Sacred Beautiful - Natural Heritage Hair: An African Diasporan Photo Exposé’ – KaliMa Amilak, Nye’ Lyn Tho, and Egyptsia Mcgillvery establish themselves as cultural zeitgeist spirits; by using the novel visual language of the natural hair movement cultural iconoclasts. According to April Martin Chartrand, M.S., Curator and Researcher for this exhibition, these creative hair iconoclasts create paradigm shifts in consciousness, embody keen sensibilities, and usher in the acceptability of presenting diverse ways of being, through their prolific visual aesthetic lens.
