Our Beautiful Bodies
Wednesday | April 20 | 5-7pm
LGBT Resource Center
Have you ever felt like your body wasn't good enough? It's not true! Our bodies are beautiful, no matter how they look! Come to this program to reclaim your beauty and find out the ways in which harmful conceptions of the perfect body have been created and perpetuated. We will look at the play between politics and capital investment that is directed towards the queer community, and reflect on how that affects us as people with many intersecting identities. In doing so we will expose the fundamental fallacies that the images create about the human body, how they invalidate people of color, and overall cause us a lot of unnecessary heartbreak! Video clips will be shown and together we will create a collage showcasing what we think about the perfect body! Questions? Contact cklemmer@ucsd.edu |
