This Saturday afternoon at Vox!
Black Box Presents - Arts in Action with Batikh Batikh
A Film Screening and Panel on Endometriosis - Rooted in the Knowledge of SWANA Women
September 5th, FREE at Vox Populi
Doors at 1:00pm, Film 1:30pm, Panel 2:00pm *masked event!
Two out of four members of Batikh Batikh identify as having endometriosis, so as part of Black Box Presents: Arts in Action, which connects the arts to social justice activism, the collective wanted to focus on women’s and q***r health access, endometriosis and South-West Asian North African (SWANA) culture. The event will feature a screening of Malak AlSayyad’s short documentary, I Told You So, an intimate first-person exploration of navigating life and love with chronic pain, while battling dismissive doctors, a skeptical mother, and that relentless inner voice telling you that it's all in your head. Afterwards, there will be a panel featuring the filmmaker, as well as local and international doctors, researchers and artists who focus on endometriosis and/or have the condition.
Presented as part of "Black Box Presents: Arts in Action," a yearlong series exploring how the arts support movements for social change, made possible with lead support from the People’s Media Fund peoplesmediafund
