Synopsis: | It ain't easy comin' up Black not to mention female, in these so-called United States. Have you ever considered how difficult it is to cultivate a healthy self-image growing up surrounded by the superficial din of white media? In Black Girl Ugly Ashley Brockington, Lee Avant, and Nicole Cain take you into the collective subconscious of Black Girls trying to hold fast to their love of self. Through movement, poetry, and song, they contrast growing up surrounded by the 'truth' of white girl beauty while living in the reality of Black Girl Ugly. True to their legacy these artists offer no clean endings in this story of black girl victory. The contra-fictions linger and always will. | |||||
