Hogewal 1-9, The Hague
Admission: free
Also the closing event of Circles of Focus: The Fall Experiment


On Sunday 13 November between 12 and 16 hrs you can get a free haircut at Stroom Den Haag. Join the hair donation project DONATE WHAT YOU DO/N'T NEED organized by the Community of Practice.

The research project (+ exhibition) Circles of Focus: The Fall Experiment at Stroom Den Haag, and the current discussions in the Netherlands about donor registration were the inspiration for the Community of Practice to organize the pop-up installation Donate What You Do/n't Need. Visitors can get a free haircut and can donate their hair to the arts on a voluntary basis. The donated hair will be given to Alix Bizet, a designer who makes clothing with human hair.

This afternoon is the closing event of the exhibition
Circles of Focus: The Fall Experiment by the artists  Christine Borland and Brody Condon, which explores the donated human body as an agent for artistic research and practice. In addition a number of designs by Alix Bizet will also be on view this afternoon.

This Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a common interest or passion, but do not necessarily have the same education, background or experience. During their participation the CoP members will share knowledge with each other, with professionals and with artists connected to Stroom.
