Irina Werning is an acclaimed Argentinian photographer known for her extensive project 'Las Pelilargas,' which explores the cultural significance of long hair in Latin America. Over two decades, she has traveled through various regions, capturing portraits and stories of individuals with ultra-long hair, emphasizing the connection between hair and cultural identity. Her work not only highlights the beauty of long hair but also addresses its historical context, particularly in Indigenous communities, where hair is seen as a symbol of resistance and heritage.
