Early Work x Ladies Who Lit: Movie Night at POVOS Gallery – Roman Holiday (1953) Screening & Book Discussion at POVOS Gallery

Join Ladies Who Lit and The Art Idiot for a special Movie Night at POVOS Gallery, featuring a screening of Roman Holiday (1953), the beloved classic starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. This one-night-only event invites you to experience the magic of this timeless romance while engaging in a post-film discussion about its connections to Brit Bennett's The Vanishing Half, LWL's March read.

This classic Audrey Hepburn film plays a key role in The Vanishing Half, shaping Desiree and Stella’s ideas of self-reinvention early on in childhood. While Roman Holiday is a whimsical romance and The Vanishing Half a profound meditation on race and identity, both explore the consequences of leaving behind one’s past. Plus, it raises an interesting question: what does it mean when escaping your life is a luxury versus a necessity?
