Naturally Critical

A snippet of a 5min video which explores beauty, our natural appearance, what we like and do not like.

The video is simply the Responses of young women to two questions ‘What do you like about your natural appearance?’ ‘What do you not like abut your natural appearance?’

It is a video, which will form the foundation of a global discussion with the aim of creating a new visual culture. The full video will be showcased at the Endangered Species Event in March 2011. For more information go to endangeredspecieswomen.org.uk

We challenge the culture that teaches women and girls to hate their own bodies

Endangered Species is an international summit planned for March 2011. The aim is to save future generations of girls from the misery that turns women against their own bodies. The challenge – to make people understand how and why this is an emergency, to show them how they can do something about it, and to inspire them to embrace change.

At the London Summit, individuals and groups from the UK and Ireland will be joined by initiatives throughout Europe to showcase the work they are already doing with and about young women – from projects in schools, colleges and communities to web-based groups and campaigning organisations. Performance, videos and artwork will frame the day and underline the urgent message of this summit.

So far it looks interesting and very touching, I wonder what will come out of it and what further actions will be made ?

Very interesting, thanks Tigersoap.

I really like it how they called the summit Endangered Species. Indeed, true femininity is nearly extinct, if not gone.

From their website the summit is happening on the 4th of March at the Royal Festival Hall in London, I'll see if I can go.

If you go let us know how it went.
I hope that the full documentary will be available at some point.
