Mohammadi Mana – Current artist in residence at Fabrica for Autumn-Winter 2024, exploring the theme of ruralism. @st.mana is a fashion photographer and visual designer from Stuttgart, Germany, whose work delves into the intersection of personal narratives and broader social, cultural, and political issues. Through her projects, she aims to highlight underrepresented voices and draw attention to pressing global concerns, fostering a deeper connection between people and the environments they inhabit. One of her recent works, “Identity Cut” (2023), explores the impact of hairstyles on personal identity. This collection reflects the diversity of our society, emphasizing haircuts as powerful expressions of individuality. The project seeks to foster a deeper understanding of how hairstyles contribute to the construction and representation of identity, celebrating the wide variety of hair types and styles while recognizing their equal value. Her latest project, “The Polish Guys” (2024), documents the lives of Polish labor migrants in Stuttgart. Six men share a 50m² apartment, with two people per room, working in Germany due to the lack of comparable job opportunities and significantly lower wages in Poland. The project sheds light on the challenging living conditions faced by these labor migrants, whose housing situation is barely humane and whose work often goes underappreciated by society. Through this body of work, she aims to bring visibility to their struggles and advocate for a more just recognition of their contributions.

Can‘t believe I graduated with a project so close to my heart. I‘m so relieved. Thanks to all involved and those who supported and inspired me every day. Hairstyles have a long history as a means of expressing the identity and individuality of people in different societies and structures. They serve not only to change one’s appearance but also as a means of communication to express specific social group affiliations or individual characteristics. In this context, hairstyles are not only an expression of personal aesthetic preferences but also reflect cultural and social norms. It is essential to accept and celebrate that there are many different types of hair and hairstyles, all of which are equally valid. No one should feel discriminated against or disadvantaged because of their hair. Unfortunately, this is not always the case in our society. Furthermore, certain hairstyles are not accepted because they do not correspond to the social image. One’s individuality is restricted, causing certain people to be discriminated against by their hairstyle alone. It is generally challenging to escape beauty trends and accept one’s hair as it is. In particular, social media has led to an oversaturation of the „perfect“ image in recent years, limiting the development of individuality. Whether society will accept hairstyles of all kinds in our everyday lives in the coming years remains to be seen. The accompanying photo work shows people identifying themselves through their hair, breaking out of social norms and wearing their hair the way they like it. So let’s put aside the old-fashioned, entrenched values and expectations and focus on the creative and individual expression made possible by hairstyles. Short or long, curly or straight, braided or pinned - every hairstyle is beautiful and part of one’s identity. talents: @peperonii.png @derbennihalt @heroicy_brine @feyza.dsz @valantain_cs @hannes.stammer @joerida_ @highmynameskevin @l0r1n4 @delucymay @k.mara_ @ninotoniolee @saanamirzaie @lichtdebakel @actuallynotyourmother @kit.kat.555 @jhill._ special thanks to: @_alexgrein @hsm.kommunikationsdesign
