Family Activity: Good Hair Day, Let’s Play

Let's Play is a free outdoor family event in the Amos Rex backyard, hosted by Good Hair Day. Families are invited to make memory maps, artworks that connect to childhood games played across the diaspora and in Finland, and to play those games together in the yard. An AfroBlooming station offers hair decorating for anyone who wants it. The event is open to all.

Good Hair Day is a collective, community and event celebrating AfroFinnishness and Afro hair, providing spaces for AfroFinns to connect and explore through hope and joy. Its antiracist work dismantles negative stereotypes about Blackness by celebrating and documenting the AfroFinnish community on its own terms and through its own narrative. At its events the collective sets out to expand the perception of Nordic beauty, discuss the politics of being Black, and share knowledge of Afro hair.
