A Chat About #ChallengeAccepted and Vogue Australia’s Latest Cover

Hey friends,

This week we talk about the flood of black and white #ChallengeAccepted photos on your Instagram feed. We dive into its supposed origins, the Turkey femicides and the impact of performative activism. Light stuff, hey? 

Resources we referenced include this Guardian article on the murdering of Turkish women, this New York Times article by Taylor Lorenz, this Instagram thread by @beelzeboobz and @let_women_live. 

Every week, we will be recommending our favourite reads, watches, listens and whatever else we are consuming. This week Maggie recommends an episode of Wardrobe Crisis with Clare Press called “Giles Duley – Beyond Fashion Photography” as well as Netflix’s miniseries Hollywood. 

Jasmine recommends the novel A Lonely Girl Is A Dangerous Thingby Jessie Tu and points towards this month’s Vogue Australia cover featuring Adut Akech Bior. 

Our jingle, editing and production is by the talented India Raine. You can email us at cultureclubmail@gmail.com, find us on Instagram at @cultureclubpod, or on our personal accounts at @jasmineeskye and @yemagz.

It’s a tough time for all, especially Victorians entering Stage 4 of Lockdown. Some mental health services you can reach out to are Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636), Headspace (1800 650 890) and Lifeline (13 11 14).

Sending love, 
Jas and Mags xx
