Film Screening: The Knot | Bridal wear as an act of self-expression for Black women | Pakhuis de Zwijger

Join us for a screening and aftertalk of The Knot, a film that explores bridal wear as a powerful act of self-expression, especially for Black women.

For the eighth edition of “Between the Sun, Wind and Waves” we are screening the fashion film ‘The Knot’, which explores bridal wear as a powerful act of self-expression, especially for Black women. Through lace, braids, bold nails, and jewelry, the designs challenge Eurocentric norms and unapologetically celebrate culture. What does it mean to be elegant without erasing who you are? By reclaiming bridal fashion, this film showcases a collection that affirms beauty as both cultural and personal. Bridal wear doesn’t begin at the altar; it starts the moment she says
yes.
