FROM STINGING PAIN TO STUNNING PATTERNS

The Kalinga from the Philippines show their painted skin on large portraits at the exhibition GREY IS THE NEW PINK. Their tattoos are more than artworks on the body, they function as identity-shaping symbols, beautification and remaining memories that stay a lifetime and beyond.
