Es mi pelo donde otra academia es posible

It's My Hair could be seen as the result of several things: on the one hand, a life experience of a group of academics men and women, black and white, old and young, who form a whole, and this despite not being so, who reflect on racism, decoloniality and the importance of the body, and who are structured around a research group we call ALMARGEN. But it is also the tension between the processes of domination and the awareness, in a social rather than psychological sense, of the importance of a key element of African and Afro-descendant society: hair. Finally, it is a huge summary of what happens with afro hair, how it is structured and becomes part of an identity, of a social, political and economic construction and, above all, the support of racism, contempt and marginalization.
