GURLZ WITH CURLZ
EXPERIENCES

This section is primarily about leaving the digital space and increasingly meeting offline again. Regardless of the fact that we owe our current presence to platforms like instagram, it still is the encounters in real life that empower us the most. That’s why it is always particularly important to us to celebrate magazine releases, create our exhibitions and organise other empowering events.

With previous exhibitions in Munich and Berlin, Stuttgart is now the third city where black women add their hair textures and personal experiences to the Afro installation. We are more than just ONE Afro. We are individual and divers!

GROWING FRO
in berlin

Berlin 2019 marks the comeback of GURLZ WITH CURLZ since our first exhibition in Munich in 2017. It was here that the journey of the growing fro continued with a new concept. Without this exhibition we would not be where we are today. The day it all really began...
