CALL FOR STORIES

2513 Woodland Ave

Des Moines, IA

Harlan's Barbershop 1968-2015

​

The 2513 WOODDLAND BARBERHOP PROJECT is in partnership with the Thomas Family and Sequel Architecture.

​

Right now, I am working on a large art installation project that incorporates wall panels salvaged from the Iowa historic landmark Harlan's Barbershop. The 2513 Woodland Barbershop Project focuses on the beauty of Blackness and incorporates quotations, names, and comments from community members, patrons of the barbershop, the Thomas family, and the shop itself.

​

Be a part of this historic project by sharing your story/stories about Harlan's Barbershop and your story will be included in this permanent art installation!
