Weekend Film Streaming

Film Screening of In Her Shoes Documentary

Uses of Capital

In Her Shoes, a film by Cynthia Salzman Mondell, explores the narratives of women in prison through the shoes they wear, have worn, and will one day wear. The film features a series of interviews with women participating in an art program inside the Dallas County Jail, a women’s facility that cages approximately 700 people. In their interviews, women reflect on their experiences as survivors of gender and state violence. They consider how economic inequality, gender discrimination, and political disenfranchisement have shaped their lives.

In partnership with Media Projects, this film will be available to all registered conference attendees, free of charge, from November 19 to 21.
