Alopecia affects millions of women worldwide, often disrupting their sense of self, identity, and beauty standards. This exhibition aims to bring to light the emotional and psychological impact of hair loss, showcasing powerful visual narratives from women artists.
Join us in exploring the journey of resilience, empowerment, and transformation through diverse artistic perspectives. Witness the strength, transformation, and reclamation of self that follows the challenges of hair loss.
Experience deep, personal, and creative explorations of this condition, reflecting both the pain and challenges of hair loss, as well as the strength and transformation that often follows.
This exhibit is curated by VERSIDA.

VERSIDA spreads awareness, fosters confidence, and creates safe spaces for women to connect, share experiences, and embrace their beauty, regardless of hair loss.
