join us for the second installment of our art and capitalism series! against the backdrop of the dissolution of Roe v. Wade, Michi debuts her art history minor and the girlies contemplate art as a political response. digressions include the self-immolation of climate activist Wynn Bruce, Diego Rivera's simultaneous success as an artist and failure as a partner, and the fact that performance artists are simply the most hardcore people in existence.
NOTE: when discussing Valie Export's Touch Cinema, Julia means to say that gender is NOT a binary when discussing anatomy. please accept her sincerest apology in misspeaking. reminder that not all women have v*ginas, not all people who have v*ginas are women!
