While long acrylic nails are, to some, something that limits one’s ability to do things, wearing them actualizes another form of power – the power in femininity.
This incredible project was only going to be made possible by involving those we wished to represent at every level of the production. With a cast of predominantly femme and female talent, many of whom are also people of colour, ‘Let’s Circle Back’ seeks to place the spotlight back on the originators of a now-global trend and to showcase the power and control these women still have – even if it was not always recognised or appreciated.
