Bald Black Girl(s) – Reign Film Screening & Panel

Fri, 2 October 2020

Join visual artist & founder of the Bald Black Girl(s) project , Ruth Sutoyé for the screening of her film ‘Reign’ and a panel discussion.

Centring the narratives of Black women who choose to shave their heads, the multi-disciplinary Bald Black Girl(s) project explores perceptions of masculinity, femininity and androgyny alongside sexuality, gender identity and barbershop dynamics.

‘Reign’ is a short afro-futuristic visual offering that re-imagines a world where only bald/low shaven exist.

Korantema Anyimadu is a cultural producer and zine maker working in heritage and the arts. Her exhibition and community project exploring Black womxn, hair and heritage won a Making History Award from the Mayor of London and is currently shown at the Migration Museum.
