Fashion, beauty, aesthetics and resistance

In today's episode Guilaine responds to a question about her updated biography, specifically her interest in fashion, beauty and aesthetics  and how that informs or relates her academic and clinical work. She goes over the personal history of her passion for fashion, considers the relation between Black Feminist thinking and joy, the erotic, desire, self authorship and survival, thinks about how when you look at injustice, atrocity and suffering it is an act of resistance to also focus on pleasure, beauty and life, and she finishes by considering how her interest in fashion challenges normative bias, racialised expectations and so it becomes an act of rebellion.Guilaine’s updated biography: https://racereflections.co.uk/about-the-author/Subscribe, rate and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.
