UPDATE - feb 2019
 
 

4 years on....

...from 'The END' and what's

.....happened, what's changed?

 
 

The answer, as ever, is quite a lot in some things and virtually nothing in others. So from my angle.... this is how it looks:

...or will look when I get around to it....

For starters, though, there's several 'new' Stories (and Weird Sci-Fi) if you check the dropdowns on the Homepage like for instance Dreadly Rendezvous and The iWatch ..

AND:

 
 

"Exploring resistance movements and alternative forms of living from a gendered perspective."

Yesterday (16.2.19) I wandered over to Bexhill and spent an hour in the new outstanding exhibition at the DE LA WARR pavilion there. This was a truly impressive exhibition with photographs, posters, videos and other artistic mediums. See:

https://www.dlwp.com/exhibition/still-i-rise/

"Still I Rise presents the way in which resistance has been approached by visual artists, writers, architects, designers, activists, working as individuals or in groups. Grounded in intersectional and queer feminist perspectives, it takes place within a global context, referring to recent women-led uprisings and demonstrations, as well as historic moments including the Civil Rights Movement, independence movements against colonial rule in Africa, the Women’s Liberation Movement, the AIDS crisis and the Stonewall Rebellion."

See Camille Paglia's wikipedia profile.... plus this entertaining (youtube) video of which a longer version was/is available for viewing at the Behill exhibition, ie:

"Glennda and Camille Do Downtown - was shot in 1993 as an episode of my drag activist Manhattan Public Access TV show Glennda and Friends and quickly rose to notoriety after it was accepted to the 1994 Sundance Film Festival (in a shorter,  I 6mm film version). Despite being shown at this prestigious festival it was banned from the NY Gay & Lesbian Film Festival but was screened at various festivals around the world, from Sao Paulo to Sara/evo, and even caused an audience riot at a screening in Minneapolis (some lesbians were apparently upset). It won First Prize for best Short Documentary at the 1994 Chicago Underground Film Festival. I think it really captures the spirit of drag culture, street activism, and the debates around prnography, gay identity and feminism during the early- to mid-1990s."
