Through the camera lense, Jodi Bieber confronts the notions of: ‘Real Beauty / Real Women’. During this workshop there will be a discussion about what are the perceptions that people have of what constitutes a real woman, is it about what you do, how you dress, who you love or what body you were born in. What is real beauty is it what the media tries to portray, is it just skin deep or is their more to real beauty than meets the eye. We will discuss the impact of that on us as women, how the stereo types keep us from achieving our full potential. We will also turn the gaze to question what is the meaning of an ‘African woman’? Who is she? Who qualifies to be called woman... and who not and why? Other great women on the panel will be Pamella Dlungwana and Jane Bennett.

Venue: Artscape Theatre Centre, Foreshore, Cape Town
