NINA (2020)

NINA (2020) by: Jessica Singleton

The High Priestess of Revolt.
 
In 1964, Nina Simone didn't just change her setlist; she shifted the culture. She transitioned from jazz standards to civil rights anthems, using her platform to demand dignity. "NINA" captures the High Priestess of Soul in her most iconic armor: the head wrap.During the Civil Rights era, the head wrap was a deliberate rejection of Eurocentric beauty standards and a reclamation of African lineage. This piece honors Simone’s fearless self-expression—a visual declaration that Black pride is not a quiet sentiment, but a regal demand.
