On Thursday, March 30, at 7:30 p.m. at the Billy Wilder Theater, the Hammer presents as part of the Hammer’s Bureau of Feminism initiative, “The Not So Silver Screen: Black Women in Media.”
The widespread coverage of race and gender inequality in Hollywood often excludes black women. The wage gap for black women in the entertainment industry is a symptom of a larger issue: the invisibility and devaluing of black women in media culture as performers, producers, and directors.
UCLA professors Kimberlé Crenshaw and Kristen Warner, along with other special guests, explore this narrative alongside solutions to promote black women as creators. The event will be followed by coffee and tea.
This program is free and open to the public, but tickets are required. Tickets are available at the box office one hour before the program. General admission tickets are available one per person on a first-come, first-served basis following member ticketing.
