![Guerrero Murillo, Marcela and Edinson Montaño [et al]. Hebrando mis raíces[Weaving my roots] https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/in00000290023. A tribute to Afro identity, history, and cultural resistance, narrated from the perspective of curly hair from an Afro-Colombian young woman. A reflection on displacement, memory, and the symbolic power of hair as a vehicle of resistance and pride. The book uses synthetic fiber to resemble curly hair and is designed to be read bottom up in just the same way as Afro hair grows up and up and up. It’s housed in a box, which has (three-dimensional) braided synthetic hair (Kanekalon) woven into a picture frame design, with a braided knob and hook that serve as a locking mechanism. Bound in printed paper wrappers with a wraparound tab to cover the page edges; pages are double-folded with fold at outer edge. Image: Adan Griego.
