‘American Gurl’ Presented by Womxn in Windows

Starting 24 June, Womxn in Windows, a platform whose mission is to share the perspectives of women of color through video art, film, and performance, will present ‘American Gurl’ an ongoing curatorial project featuring work that explores all shades of American Dreaming.

This installment of the project will take shape as a film exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Downtown Los Angeles that will present eight films by intergenerational artists with curiosity around the perspectives and nuances within the Black feminine experience and our relationships to beauty, success, freedom and power in America.
