Film Premiere & Panel Discussion

Return to Sender: Women of Color in Colonial Postcards & the Politics of Representation is a short, experimental film directed and produced by Mara Ahmed. It pushes the documentary medium in unexpected ways by opening with three contemporary South Asian American women who recreate British colonial postcards from the early 20th century. The film hopes to build community by facilitating conversations about erasure and the politics of representation. It will be followed by a panel discussion with Nia Adams, Madeline del Toro Cherney, and Farhana Huda Islam.
