"Look What the Bride Has Got On!"

Produced in 2016, this video by Annie Elledge seeks to analyze how ideas of beauty and identity are imbued onto the bodies of brides by underscoring the wedding as a site where conceptions of nationality and femininity are played out. Annie also seeks to analyze the role women play in representing and embodying the idea of “nation”by examining how Ugandan fashion designers and consumers, particularly women, actively participate in the wedding industry to highlight the ways in which these individuals contest and conform to idealized notions of Ugandan femininity.
