@OKWU_ID Hi @OKWU_ID - really love your recreations of the hairstyles photographed by N. W. Thomas in the early twentieth century. We have been working with @ukpuru on this collection as part of [Re:]Entanglements https://t.co/t8IolJzMPD Would you like to write a blog about this?

Okwu ID would like to give a special shout out to @ukpuru who helped make #100YearsOfIgboBeauty a reality.

Some of the photos digitally colourised on Ụ́kpụ́rụ́ over the last year or so. The original black and white images are from the Northcote Thomas collection of the Royal Anthropological Institute and MAA Cambridge, working with the [Re:]Entanglements project.

Northcote Thomas experimented with the use of panoramic #photography during his anthropological surveys in West Africa between 1909 and 1915. He also used two cameras to simultaneously photograph ceremonies from different angles. See https://t.co/HBxUBx7SG2
