As a born and bred New Yorker who has championed opportunities for generations of Black creatives well beyond the city limits, it is fitting that the documentary about Bethann Hardison’s life and impact will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Friends and admirers can also catch “Invisible Beauty,” by buying tickets for June 14 or June 17 screenings at the festival. Being the film’s subject and co-director heightens the meaning of the endeavor.
After decades of calling for and helping to create and enact greater diversity in the fashion industry, Hardison said that helping the industry to understand that “you can have models of color every season on the runway and in advertising” has been one standout. But that evident impact on other industries has always been “her quiet intention,” she said. “Once you start to see women of color, you subliminally wouldn’t think anything other than it was normal. That, to me, has been achieved.
Having shown “Invisible Beauty” at the Sundance Film Festival, and the Seattle International Film Festival, the film will be shown at the Berkshire International Film Festival later next month. Soon she will be off to London for the film and various other film festivals. Hardison also plans to squeeze in a month in Marrakech. On Sept. 7, the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Art in Brooklyn will open an exhibition about Hardison.
