Colleagues,
The Center for Cultural Pluralism invites you to attend its
last film screening as part of the Fall 2013 Social Justice
Film Series – “The Color of Beauty" & "Woman Being" next
week on Wednesday, November 13. Below are the details
and a copy of the film poster has been attached to help
promote this program. We appreciate your support.
Wednesday, November 13, 2013
7:30 PM - Rm 216 Living/Learning Commons
A brief discussion of the themes follows each screening.
About the films: These two films explore the
concepts of beauty through race, gender and nationality. The
Color of Beauty is a shocking documentary that examines
racism in the fashion industry through the story of Renee
Thompson, a Black fashion model in a world where White women
are the standard of beauty. Woman Being examines the
changing concepts of beauty and sexuality for women in modern
China and shows how Western pop culture is affecting their
expectations and self-worth.
About the Social
Justice Film Series: Brought to you by the Center
for Cultural Pluralism, the Fall 2013 Social Justice Film
Series theme is "Interrogating the Intersections Of" and offers
participants an educational opportunity to explore through
film and subsequent discourse and engage issues of identity in
its various intersections. Films selected for the Social
Justice Film Series have one viewing and are generally
screened up to a half hour and followed by an engaged
discourse on the themes by the participants. To be respectful
of your time, it is our hope that this entire educational
program does not exceed ninety minutes.
