Video Title:
ARTLAB - The Salon: Episode 1 ft. A'Lelia Bundles and Wanda Henderson
Description:
The Salon is a two-part web series about the black hair experience created by ARTLAB teens. Over the course of eight weeks, our production team learned tangible skills including video and audio production, art direction, interview strategies, and event publicity. The episode introduces Black hair salons as epicenters of Black culture and catalysts for advancement dating back to the early 20th century. With the help of author and historian, A'Lelia Bundles, the great great granddaughter of Madame C.J. Walker, we discuss the importance of Black hair salons to the Civil Rights Movement. Miss Wanda, the owner of Wanda's on 7th also speaks about her triumph over the forces of gentrification in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington D.C. A group discussion featuring the ARTLAB production team rounds out the episode exploring the importance of their hair.
