Hair Love at National Museum of Women in the Arts - sold out

Cultural Capital: Hair Love—Screening & Conversation

Sunday, February 23 | 4–6:30 p.m.

Join us for a screening of the Oscar-winning short film Hair Love (7 min.), followed by a conversation with the film's writer and director, Matthew Cherry and the illustrator of the original children's book, Vashti Harrison. Hair Love centers around the relationship between an African American father, Stephen, his daughter, Zuri, and her hair. This story was born out of a lack of representation in mainstream animated projects and a desire to promote hair love among young men and women of color.

Following the conversation, enjoy a small reception and book signing with Cherry; copies of the Hair Love children's book, based off of the film, will be available for purchase.

Reservation required. Free. SOLD OUT!
