4:00 pm: Discussion with Prof. Shivaji Pannikar

We will be joined by Prof. Shivaji Panikkar for a post-screening discussion, to engage with questions about how we create and challenge ideals and norms around the body and how speaking out about the body has historically been a queer and feminist way of resisting the policing of desire.

Please forward widely! Hope to see you there! 

Cheers,

Body Workshop this Saturday!!!!

I Like My Body But...
with Pramada Menon
Bodies are meant to be fun things to have - you can play with them, desire them, dictate terms to them and in some ways they define who you are. And yet, its those very same bodies that we despise, that we have issues with, that we want to change - essentially we want what we do not have. So who defines for us what we "should" have? What or whose is a desirable body? Can we challenge the notion of body itself and add some complexity to desire, play and all else? Let the conversation begin, November 12, 2011

12 Nov, 10:00am  to 6:00 pm
