Create: From Miss Ann to #karen
This Producer/Filmmaker focused panel explores the impact that 2020 has had on our art and our lives, specifically at the intersection of race and gender. We will look at how film and video content can highlight and explore the connections, commonalities, and tensions between White women and Black women, throughout American history. For many of us, these issues are far from new, but has 2020 truly opened an opportunity, through storytelling, to create a new narrative that can lead to a new mindset and to new action?
