Adrian Piper

"...Thus we are shaped by the circumstances of birth and have no control over our parentage, but we  can, if we desire, make ourselves in our own image by employing the wide range of products and services designed for self-enhancement that are available in the consumer marketplace"

Catalysis IV 
My hair=my mood=my identity=my revolution 
I highly believe that how I present myself to others is a way to tell people how I fell, a way of identity. 
Adrian Paper presents her work altering her appearance in order to make people uncomfortable, to make people think about gender or race. 
I think that one of the most important methods of "revolution" and to fight issues like racism and gender stereotypes is through our hair. Changing our hair to colors that make people uncomfortable (Blue, pink, green, purple), or leaving it curly is a good strategy to fight the stereotypes made by advertisement and culture.
