EMBODIMENT

BODY 05 The Black Gaze

For too long, Black bodies were reduced, exoticized and misunderstood by the white male gaze. Fuck the white male gaze, tho. How can narratives be reconquered, and full attention devoted to self-determination in the film world and beyond? How to tell stories that go beyond pain and render the profundity, joy and diversity of Black lives visible? With the Black gaze: Black identities from an intimate perspective beyond clichés and stereotypes. The Black Gaze finally gives narrative power back to those situated at the centre of the stories – the Black community.

Curation: Yergalem Taffere, Lena Whooo
