"Shadeism" Screening & Discussion
March 10th 2011, 2.30-5.00pm, Main Activity Hall, 2nd Floor, Multi-Faith Centre
Whiter is beautiful and darker is ugly? Or is it all in the eye of the beholder? What if the beholder is a "shadeist"? The negotiations with our skin tones speak volumes about our standards of beauty, our identities, and our relationships with each other. Add your voice to the critical dialogue about the experience of "shades" and join us for the screening of the made-in-Toronto student documentary, "Shadeism".
Refreshments will be served.
