7:00pm : "Black Barbie” Film Screening
Join us on the campus of Ferris State University in the University Center for a screening of Black Barbie, the documentary that "traces the history of Black dolls and the undeniable impact that three Black women from two generations had on the Barbie brand and the making of Black Barbie,” as noted by Shondaland. As a powerful follow up to the Much Ado About Barbie exhibit from 2024, the gallery is providing our community with the opportunity to watch the documentary that was much talked about during the exhibition. Visit the gallery beforehand to view the works of Cat Washington, a Detroit-based fiber artist specializing in tapestry crochet (see p. 9). Popcorn and beverages will be provided.
