Turning Heads aims to spark conversation and challenge stereotypes while exploring the cultural and societal significance that hair has – it’s not just hair!Turning Heads is funded by The Carnegie UK Trust’s Engaging Libraries project which supports public libraries to run community engagement activities on the research themes of health, society and culture. Other funders include Wellcome and the Wolfson Foundation.The project is delivered by Libraries NI in partnership with Ulster University and Beyond Skin.We are asking everyone to help make sure more events like this take place by completing a short online survey which will be posted in the chat, and emailed after the event.
