Description

Anita Bhagwandas' Ugly challenges our conventional understanding of beauty standards. Growing up, she struggled with feelings of inadequacy that persisted into adulthood. The internet's constant bombardment of airbrushed perfection has led to a culture where we're told to love ourselves, yet bombarded with images that uphold centuries-old beauty standards. Bhagwandas delves into the origins and perpetuation of these standards, exposing the hidden structures that support them. From the cosmetic surgery industry to the concept of 'pretty privilege', she seeks to break free from limiting beauty ideals. Feeling ugly should be about self-acceptance, not physical appearance. In Ugly, Bhagwandas offers a seismic shift in perspective on beauty and its impact on our lives.
