Overview
It's not often that an art exhibition also offers you the option of grabbing a haircut, but upcoming show Garage Barbershop is offering exactly that. Head down to Blacktown Arts Centre between May 11 and June 3 and you'll not only see a collection of portraits by international fashion photographer Harold David alongside music and candid video interviews with men from Western Sydney, on Thursdays you can actually get a cut, fade or shave with Charles Lomu at his pop-up barbershop.
David's portraits, shot in a Blacktown garage, capture the experience of men getting a haircut from Lomu and his five apprentices ('The Original Five'), exploring not only the act of the haircut itself but how the space provides young men in the community an opportunity for mentoring, bonding and conversation without feeling judged or out of place.
Just a heads up — if you want a barbershop appointment you'll need to book ahead here.
