Scarification and Body Modification - 06.07.15
Posted: Jul, 2nd 2015
Contributor: Bilen Shifferaw,
This summer's CIAD Exchange looks at tribal marks, scarification and body modification; what they mean in their respective communties, and what value they possess in terms of a cultural beauty standard. We discuss the differences between notions of beauty as expressed through scarification and body modification and the westernised standard of beauty.
The exchange is a two hour event consisting of a one hour lecture and Q&A followed by a one hour networking and drinks reception.
