(They worked on) voting rights and the question of putting citizenship on the census, and the LQBTQ in the military.” “The Fight,” like Miranda’s “In the Heights,” is a good example of showing how trueto-life heroes can be male and female, cisgender and trans or older and younger, Washington said. “They may be somebody whose story is not traditionally thought of as being deserving as center,” she said. “If our heroes look like more than one person, we might, if we see it, can be it. We have the potential to be the superheroes of our own lives and transform our own communities.” Washington said there is a catch-22 when it comes to representation. “Being a woman of color, anytime I stepped into the center of the story, it was a political act,” she said. But I don’t want all the heroes to look like me, either.” Taymor, whose Sundance film “The Glorias” is an experimental biopic about journalist and feminist Gloria Steinem, looks at film’s representation of women in the same way Miranda views musical theater’s representation of Latinos — stereotypical and shallow. “‘The Glorias’ is about women working together in a positive niche, and not eyeing each other like many movies have done by pitting one woman against another,” she said. “Someone the other day asked me, ‘What is feminism? And I wanted to say it’s humanism. It’s equality.’ At this time, we need inspiration. We need positive models of what women can do together.” That idea was planted in Taymor’s mind when in the 1960s. She was 8 years old and her mother, Betty, ran for Congress in Massachusetts. “I grew up watching my mother struggle in the women-not-supporting-women moment,” she said. “We would canvas a neighborhood and the women would get angry and furious, and say, ‘Go take care of your children’ or they would be angry because she was an attractive woman and slam the door in her face.” In addition to representation, truth and storytelling, the panel also discussed the difference between misappropriation and colonialism. “We are all in a privileged position and we’re able to tell stories that a lot of people aren’t able to tell,” Weems said. “Who has the right to tell another person’s story, and how do you take that right?” Taymor, who co-wrote the Tony-winning musical “The Lion King,” said her works are cross-cultural and healing. “I think there has been great healing within the community of artists to be able to identify appropriation when it happens, but I think where the focus of appropriation has been is that the intention of borrowing from other cultures has not always been with the same integrity and heart as you,” Washington said about Taymor. “It’s different when that privilege of cross cultural exploration is allowed to some and not to others. I think that’s why there is anxiety around having one community tell the story of another.” |
