Afterwards there will be drinks and the possibility to buy her book and to have it signed.
Background
Sunny Bergman is a writer and film maker, known for her personal style and critical view on societal issues regarding women’s beauty and sexuality. Her book and documentaries reflect the combination of interviews and experiments she carries out herself. In her latest book “Sletvrees” (Slut phobia) she zooms in on appearance, sex and culture. The book is a compilation of material used in the three documentaries she made in the past years: “Beperkt houdbaar” (Over the Hill), about the ideals of female beauty, “The Sunny Side of Sex”, about views on women and sexuality world-wide and “Sletvrees” about sexuality and reputation in the Western world. She won the Dick Scherpenzeel Prijs 2011 for “The Sunny Side of Sex”.
In this lecture Sunny Bergman will present parts of her work, illustrated with clips from her documentaries, and highlight how this affects our personal and professional lives.
