BOLD Expo

BOLD Expo 2023

Caroline Sikkenk has photographed women who have lost their hair following chemotherapy or as result of intensive radiation therapy. For most women, losing their hair can be a very upsetting experience.

Once the hair is gone, a different kind of beauty emerges. Other features draw our attention; delicately or strongly outlined cheekbones, cheerful freckles, the shape of the lips, a certain sparkle in the eyes. The hair no longer detracts our attention from the pure beauty of a face. Faces that in the absence of the framework normally provided by hair, radiate strength, emotion and femininity.

It takes courage to let others see you without your hair. Not only are these women ‘bald’, they are above all ‘BOLD’: strong and courageous.  BOLD is not only an awarness campaign, above all, these women empower other women who are in the same situation.

Think Pink Europe continues to support the BOLD Expo in 2023.  The Expo is currently travelling in Spain (Canarian Islands) and we are working on new locations.  Every time the exhibition travels to another country, new local models are added.  In Tenerife, on the Canarian Islands, the beautiful Hermi and Mónica were added to the photographs.
