Inspired by the groundbreaking and interdisciplinary 1976 Sojourner Truth Festival of the Arts, this symposium revisited groundbreaking works by Black feminist artists. It included a screening program, workshops, and roundtable conversations that reflected on the past and future of Black women’s filmmaking. Aarin’s films featured alongside intergenerational peers in the Interior Lives program and she participated as a panelist.
