Beauty Rituals

How do we support ideologies of beauty? Which rituals are important to us? What cosmetic ideals/standards/economies do we uphold and aspire towards? How is craft connected to beauty rituals?
Beauty Rituals is a collective installation work, combining four material practices and perspectives. Navigating the landscape of beauty is inherently political: prompting debates around feminism, economy, and privilege.
The exhibition is part of KHiO QuARTerly a public program at Akademirommet at Kunstnernes Hus hosted by the three visual departments at Oslo National Academy of Arts (KHiO) — Art & Craft, Design and the Academy of Fine Art.
