Seeing Culture: Fades and Fantasy Coffins

The Mathers Museum of World Cultures’ film series, Seeing Culture: Fades and Fantasy Coffins, looks at the ways in which the very ordinary experiences of getting a haircut or making a coffin both reflect and create culture. Two very different films highlight a variety of cultures and means of personal and cultural expression. This partnership is supported through IU Cinema’s Creative Collaborations program.

The series is sponsored by Mathers Museum of World Cultures, the College of Arts and Science’s Themester 2018: Animal/Human, African Studies Program, and IU Cinema.
