Screening and Discussion of Subjects of Desire from Kanopy

Join us for a screening of Subjects of Desire, then stick around after for a discussion of the film. Snacks provided. Ideal for ages 18 and up.

"SUBJECTS OF DESIRE explores the cultural shift in North American beauty standards towards embracing Black female aesthetics and features while exposing the deliberate and often dangerous portrayals of Black women in the media. From society’s new fixation on the ‘booty’, fuller lips, the dramatic rise of spray tanned skin, ethnic hairstyles, and athletic bodies, some argue that Black women are having a beauty moment. But others, primarily Black women, argue that traditional Black features and attributes are seen as more desirable when they are on White women." from Kanopy
