Nine Sixteenths
Journey through '00s nostalgia through the media storm of Janet Jackson's 2004 SuperBowl halftime show.
Devised by Paula Varjack, Pauline Mayers, Julienne Doko, Chia Phoenix and Endy McKay
In 2004, in the SuperBowl halftime show finale, 23 year old Justin Timberlake ripped off 37 year old Janet Jackson’s top. Her breast was exposed on screen for nine sixteenths of a second. A pop icon and role model for many Black women, and an outspoken ally for the LGBTQ community, the moment derailed Jackson’s career for many years, while Timberlake’s thrived.
But who was invested in the backlash? What does all this have to say about the demographics of who controls the media, and the ways in which Black women are scrutinised in the public eye?
Please note, this show has integrated BSL as part of the production.
