STRAIGHT/CURVE: Redefining Body Image

Monday, November 6th, 2017
Doors Open: 6:30pm
Kellen Auditorium

Ninety percent of women and young girls say they do not feel represented in the fashion industry or in media, and that the imagery they consume on a daily basis makes them feel “disgusting” and “less than”.

The exciting new documentary Straight/Curve: Redefining Body Image examine the industries and obstacles responsible for this body image crisis and showcases the dynamic leaders fighting for more diversity of size, race and age.

At a time when our brain processes images 60,000 times faster than words Straight/Curve: Redefining Body Image sets out to change the imagery we are seeing and to bolster a movement that is redefining society’s unrealistic and dangerous standards of beauty to impact society at large.

Join us for a special screening event Monday, November 6th at 7:00PM in Kellen Auditorium.

Anastasia Garcia, featured photographer, will be present after the screening for a Question and Answer session.

Then, we will stream into a live Q&A from Fordham University at 8:45pm and chat with the filmmaker and an exceptional panel of body image experts.
