TEASER for Going Over: The Social Dimensions of Men's Hairstyling in Kuwait and Beyond

Going Over: The Social Dimensions of Men's Hairstyling in Kuwait and Beyond

A teaser to a DIS lecture presented by Fatima Al Qadiri and Khalid Al Gharaballi at Bidoun ProjectsArt Park In Art Dubai.

Going Over is an illustrated meditation on the global marketing of masculinity through hair, hair products and signature hairstyles, focusing on the microcosm of Kuwait and the 'exiting of trends' by Kuwaiti youth, in contrast with the hair conservatism of an older generation.

In this presentation, Al Qadiri and Al Gharaballi explore historic comparisons, hair regulation reports from Iran and a case study conducted in Kuwait; the discussion will expose the delicate relationship between hair and culture and, more specifically, between barber and client.
