20 Years of In The Cut, Women as Currency and Demon Boyfriends
Hey dolls,
Happy Thursday – the week’s almost over and the autumn is setting in nicely. We’ve had a fun week over on the Dollhouse, with two new podcast eps – one from Gina and Ione (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) about gossip and another from MJ and Marie (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) about the Kardashians and their PR moves. Writing-wise, we’ve got everything from an interview with filmmaker Shirin Neshat to a look at In the Cut 20 years later…
Arijana Zeric speaks to filmmaker Shirin Neshat about her installation and exhibition The Fury, currently showing in London.
For spooky season, our culture editor Misha M-N considers the demon boyfriend and his enduring role across culture.
Tiger Hagino Reid writes about her (Re) Orientated initiative, which seeks to provide power in togetherness to east and southeast Asian people in the music industry.
Megan Robinson considers the impact of Jane Campion’s In the Cut adaptation 20 years on, with specific emphasis on the way Meg Ryan’s Frannie is watched throughout the film.
“Women have always traded on invisible work for invisible money,” writes Rachel O’Dwyer in this essay about women, cash and the internet.
See ya next week!
XOXO,
The Polyester Team <3
