Hi everyone, this is @rami.hara, this week’s Photoworks instagram Takeover.I’m a Brussels based artist and I will be sharing my latest ongoing series Do-rag, Duːˌræɡ.
I use my photography as a means to document and archive parts of my identity, culture and heritage, as well as combat harmful imagery that is placed upon the African diaspora.

Do-rag, Duːˌræɡ addresses a seemingly innocent piece of fabric that has been vilified. Worn by both African Americans and those belonging to the African diaspora, the durag is intended to protect one’s hair and is mostly worn by Black men. Unfortunately, the image of a Black man wearing a durag has been associated with gang members and violence — implying the wearer is a thug. It is certainly not portrayed as the matter of (self)care that it actually is.

ID: Do-rag, Duːˌræɡ, Ruby Red Velvet
