Book Discussion | Ugliness: Power and Beauty
Moshtari Hilal discusses her book -- translated from the German by Elisabeth Lauffer—dealing with attraction, repulsion and mounting pressures to conform to norms of appearance. How do power and beauty join forces to determine who is considered ugly? What role does that ugliness play in fomenting hatred? Moshtari Hilal, an Afghan-born author and artist who lives in Germany, has written a touching, intimate, and highly political book. Dense body hair, crooked teeth, and big noses: Hilal uses a broad cultural lens to question norms of appearance—ostensibly her own, but in fact everyone’s. She writes about beauty salons in Kabul as a backdrop to the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, Darwin’s theory of evolution, Kim Kardashian, and a utopian place in the shadow of her nose. With a profound mix of essay, poetry, her own drawings, and cultural and social history of the body, Hilal explores notions of repulsion and attraction, taking the reader into the most personal of realms to put self-image to the test. Why are we afraid of ugliness?

Lecture | Why Humans Are Unremarkable Compared to Other Species
From an evolutionary standpoint, modern human bodies are surprisingly ordinary compared to other species. But what does that actually imply? Habiba Chirchir, assistant professor of anthropology at The Ohio State University, explores how skeletal structure relates to behavior, using evidence from human fossils, contemporary populations, and comparisons with species like wolves and dogs, to argue that humans have "domesticated" themselves, revealing the deep evolution of our biology and behavior. For ages 21+.
