Above and Beyonce
Feb 26

Free event! Please RSVP

Wednesday, Feb 26 at 07:00PM

Bootylicious or Bordo-suspicious?
Bottom bitch or exemplar feminist?
Too raunchy for words or role model mom?

If possible, Beyoncé's name and music are more firmly planted in the minds and ears of the nation than ever before. She shook the very foundations of the music biz by dropping her unannounced visual album in December 2013: with that move, Bee's status as Queen is now officially ensconced in academic curriculum. The newest release by Sasha Fierce is heralded by some as her most feminist to date, dismissed by others as mere misogyny.

Taking the debate to the cinema, we invite the community to come revel in some of the diva's latest audiovisual work. After the screening, an all star lady panel of artists, writers, and curators will bring their expertise to the Bey-hive in a discussion about feminism, race, and pop music. Tonya Mosley, Sandra Jackson-Dumont, Christa Bell, Danielle Henderson, and Amy O'Neal dive into the nitty gritty of this timely conversation, and may just once and for all determine whether Bee is singing  "anime," "Annie Mae," or "Anna Mae."

After the discussion, debrief over drinks in the lobby, where DJ Lisa Dank will spin a Bey-inspired set.

This community event is free and open to the public.
RSVP to make sure you snag a seat!
