Brown Art Network: Representation in Youth Movies & TV

Redefining ABCD

In this episode of Brown Art Network, Sneha and Keerthi dive into the importance of having cultural representation in children/teen movies and TV shows. They discuss from their age to now how the on-screen representation has shifted and the impacts it has on shaping perspectives. While they discuss the industry itself, they talk about their personal reflections from childhood and how the on-screen portrayals can affect individuals as adults on topics such as sex, intergenerational trauma, healing, stigmas, and stereotypes. While they talk about the serious notions of representation, they dive into the importance of embracing your inner child - a product of enjoying children's movies and experiences as adults and removing the shame that comes with it. They wrap the episode with their curiosity about the future and gratefulness for the conversations current movies have stirred when talking about heavy topics.
