  • Summary

  • When we first lay our eyes upon someone, we behold what they offer, willingly or unwillingly. The contour of the figure, the texture of the fabric, the pigment of the skin. This American Life’s Tell Me I’m Fat will help us ask: Can we unsee? Should we try to blind ourselves? And what about me in here, who knows that I’m not seen because of how it (my body) is viewed? Joining host Leon Wiener Dow for The Context segment is Rabbi Lizzi Heydemann, Rabbi and Founder of Miskhan Chicago and for The Hypertext segment is photographer Jonathan Bloom.
