The latest @VolupteJournal is themed on Estonian and Finnish decadence!! 🇪🇪🇫🇮📙 journals.gold.ac.uk/index.ph… Presumably that means lingering just a bit too long in a sauna, and flogging yourself with particularly soft birch leaves

New blog! Gareth Brookes reflects on their creative responses to Michael Field, which include double-sided embroidery that stitches images together, while keeping individuality discrete.
For Brookes, Michael Field were an activity as much as an identity.

Long time coming, but a new article is now out with Afterimage: “Decadent Scenography: Angel Rose Denman, Hollywood Goth”. Angel’s work is fascinating – a self-proclaimed “daughter of decadence”, green, a little mottled, and FABULOUS. Check it out here: online.ucpress.edu/afterimag…

New blog post! In an interview for Staging Decadence, Runxuan Yang discusses her ‘Vase Girl’ act, inspired by a magic trick in Chinese travelling circuses. Expect rumination on foot binding, ‘ornamentalism’, and the cultural politics of refinement.
