The event
Who decides what is beautiful? Through hair, body hair, gestures and beauty practices, four films question the norms that shape our relationship with the body. Through gender, identity, racism and violence, they also explore the possibility of reclaiming one’s image and choosing how to present oneself to the world.
The films

Based on interviews with women who experienced domestic abuse and made entirely from archival images drawn from fiction films and YouTube tutorials, the documentary explores the intersection between beauty practices and abusive relationships.

An audiovisual experience about being a woman and becoming Black.
Bristling
