In honor of Black History Month, the Aboriginal Resource Centre will be showing Shadeism for our Indigenous Movie Cafe. 

Shadeism: Digging Deeper explores the issue of shadeism, discrimination between lighter-skinned and darker-skinned members of the same community. This issue of skin tone, of certain shades being considered better than others, was never missing from conversation while growing up for Director Nayani Thiyagarajah. She was able to feel its presence in conversations among family and friends, but she did not have the language to name it. And so, it became easier to ignore its presence, suppress its signs, and normalize its existence. But in 2009, a conversation with her niece Maanu forced Nayani to face the fact that we cannot continue to ignore this issue. Silence will not save anyone from suffering. Alongside her friends and family, Nayani begins to recover and re-imagine what beauty means for women globally. This film looks at where shadeism comes from, how it directly affects women, and explores how we can move forward together.

Dinner will be provided. Please register by contacting kaitlin.phillips@humber.ca.
