Join us to screen the film black enuf*, an award winning animated documentary and a talk with its filmmaker and animator, Carrie Hawks.

Carrie will also show another short animation to talk about styles of animation and lead the audience through an animation planning exercise.
When you RSVP, you will receive a link for the Zoom talk, which will include a screening of the film. Zoom attendees receive a link to stream the film at 6, followed immediately by a talk with Carrie.
About the film
black enuf* is an animated documentary about "a queer oddball seeking approval from Black peers despite a serious lack of hip-hop credentials. Carrie Hawks' quest for a Black Card (undeniable acceptance of my racial identity) takes them from Missouri, to New York, and halfway around the world. "
Carries examines the expanding Black identity through a personal journey into their great-grandmother’s autobiography, interviews with family & friends, and their hand-drawn memories. Tongue-and-cheek humor makes such a heavy topic digestable in a film that uses a variety of illustrative styles.
