Emma Tarlo (professor of anthropology, Goldsmiths University of London) curated the exhibition "Hair! Human Stories" (2018), which examined the global trade in human hair and other hair-related issues. In her talk, she will draw on her research on hair and material culture and the power of globalized industry and global trade for a discussion of Sheela Gowda's "Behold", a work that combines four kilometres of hair with car bumpers and exemplifies the artist's creative engagement with India's social, political and economic challenges.
