Event: Re-introducing Oshun | 7th – 17th October 2013

Re-introducing
Oshun

An interdisciplinary project using photography, film, prose and objects to re-discover black women’s bodies as sacred places of intimacy, sensuality and beauty.

Featuring an all-female collective working within the mediums of movement, visual arts and poetry, 'Re-Introducing Oshun' demystifies the omnipresent gaze placed on black women's bodies by, "creating images of black women that look, talk, feel and love like us and in doing so presenting our own truths."
