Solo Exhibition: I AM MORE THAN MY HAIR
March 19 – May 28, 2021
Sandy Spring Museum
RSVP

Address:
Sandy Spring Museum
17901 Bentley Road

Sandy Spring, MD 20860
Alyscia Cunningham rocked the art world with her 2018 book I Am More Than My Hair in which she explored the beauty of women who (for health reasons) have embraced baldness.  In 2018, she helped create a fashion show, in which the male, female, and child models were all proud bald. In 2020, she brought those voices and images to the moving screen, with her documentary of the same name.  Now, in 2021, she has lifted the barrier of accessibility—for the visually and hearing-impaired—in a groundbreaking gallery show that conveys the powerful images of women whose glory is more than their hair–in multi-sensory portraiture.

We believe that although we may come from different cultures, and various life experiences, as Maya Angelou says “we are more alike than we are different”. All women wish they had things they can do better, or do at all. We all experience times when we feel we are alone in our endeavors. Every woman, no matter her walk in life, struggles with weight (issues of life).

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” ~Maya Angelou

Feminine Transitions is a tribute to that little girl who is constantly told by society that she is not beautiful. For the older woman who hides behind her mask and colors her gray hair. And to the senior woman who feels that her wrinkles are a negative reminder of growing older.

Know that you are all beautiful, just the way you are. Let the radiance you were born with shine through.

Feminine Transitions: A Photographic Celebration of Natural Beauty is a photography book that promotes and celebrates the true natural beauty of girls and women at all stages of life. It includes a portrait series of females faces ages 7 weeks to 103.

Free and open to the public

FEMININE TRANSITIONS: A PHOTOGRAPHIC CELEBRATION OF NATURAL BEAUTY

by Alyscia Cunningham

Feminine Transitions book cover and photo of Alyscia Cunningham

It has been four years in the making and Feminine Transitions is finally a physical book. This has been far from an easy process. However, it has been most gratifying to experience my project blossom from a thought to reality.

Feminine Transitions is a photography book that promotes the importance of self-love for our authentic selves as women.

This book is a tribute to that little girl who is constantly told by society that she is not beautiful. For the older woman who hides behind her mask and colors her gray hair. And to the senior woman who feels that her wrinkles are a negative reminder of growing older.

Know that you are all beautiful, just the way you are. Let the radiance you were born with shine through.

Come and join me and share the experience!
