Celebrating Black Hair in 3 Dimensions

The Open Source Afro Hair Library is a community of artists creating extraordinary visions of Blackness in digital media. From the historic to the fantastic, the everyday to the aspirational, we’re excited to share diverse representations from across the diaspora.

Spread the Word!

We’ve already created dozens of incredible 3D assets for the library by working with artists from around the world. With your help, we can continue to develop new resources, support underrepresented artists, and fulfill our mission to radically expand the images we see on screen, as well as the people who make them.
