Beyond Skin Deep: African American Beauty in Culture, Care, and Art
Join the Gainesville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. for a powerful virtual experience that celebrates the intersection of beauty, culture, and art. Teens are welcome too!
Date: Saturday, October 11, 2025
Time: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Where: Virtual on Zoom
This session will spotlight skin care. For African Americans, skin care — when viewed through the lens of art — opens up a fascinating look into how beauty, wellness, and aesthetics have been represented, redefined, and celebrated across generations.
Because our skin is both a literal canvas of identity and a symbolic one in art, this theme beautifully connects cultural practices of self-care with powerful artistic depictions of beauty and resilience.
