SUMMARY:The Girl Who Was the Color of Nothing
DESCRIPTION:How far will a family go to ensure their daughter’s skin never darkens? \nThe Girl Who Was the Color of Nothing is a collaboration between writer R. Benedito Ferrão and artist Maria Vanessa de Sa which answers that question with tragi-comic results. The tale delves into beauty standards that equate lighter skin with attractiveness\, norms perpetuated uncritically by adults to the detriment of children. \nThe story draws from an unlikely source: a fourth-century Roman legend\, reimagined through the style of sixteenth-century artwork. Metaphorical and magical all at once\, this is a children’s book written for adults. It invites readers to examine what they have internalised\, and what they may be passing on. \nTo know\, the author believes\, is to heal. \nFerrão joins Priya Joseph in conversation about the inspiration and ambitions for the book. Children and their adults are welcome. \n
