What does accessibility to sexual liberation really mean?
Content warning: this interview contains mention of sexual violence.
Alicia Zhao shares an intimate dialogue with friend, artist and advocate Dakota Quin. Facing the question of the body no longer being a productive vessel for capitalism, Dakotaโs artistic and activist work seeks to find the pleasure and possibilities of embodied liberation. We learn about their story and how it culminated in the upcoming film, Unspeakable, a body of work in collaboration with Esther Bridget Joy.

A tale of two Dilwale's: Mateo and Bipasha move through the phenomena of Bollywood cinema and its grasp on broader subcontinental culture. Specifically, a classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) and it's less-regarded not-so-classic Dilwale (2015), both starring the inimitable SRK and Kajol.
They trace their relationships with growing up with Bollywood cinema, recount watching these films five hours back to back; and reflect on the depths and contradictions of these cultural outputs.

"The peopleโs blood wonโt stain our hands" - the words decried from a recent direct action in Athens where the port workers took industrial action to stop the shipment of Israeli arms. This is an example of a way we can boycott, divest and sanction in our everyday lives.
We're joined by staunch, third-generation Palestinian organiser and advocate Rand Khatib to take us through the legacy of resistance in her blood, and the power of collective action through BDS actions that Palestinians have long-called for. Every day, there are non-violent, material ways we can commit to the end of occupation.
We also also hear from those in our local community practicing BDS and what their experiences of learning this, have been.

Censorship in the arts has been rampant across our galleries, theaters, airwaves and screens. As the genocide devastates across Palestine in its seventh month, we witness sites of art-making cower away from speaking out and silencing artists who do. In this tumultuous and heartbreaking climate - how do we understand the role of the artist? Hear from artists Lux รterna, Alissar Chidiac and Nicole Barakat unpacking this, creating an intergenerational chat on the need for artists to be vigilant witnesses and creative resistors.
Theyโre part of an exhibition at The Cross Art Projects, Potts Point Forms of Censorship - gathering artists across forms and identity to query the culture of self-censorship on now, and has been extended until until June 15th 2024.

A stunning and expansive world conjured by Aaqila aka halalbutch
Aaqila is a writer, artist, DJ and community organiser based on Whadjuk land and sometimes Gadigal land. Their habitude operates towards providing tools for collective liberation beyond the tools of the institution; which manifests in different ways from the dinner table to the gallery. Their threads of research are drawn from Malay-Anglo subjectivities and move slowly through contemporary and ancestral understandings of gender, collective healing and embodied ritual. They have written for numerous publications across so-called Australia including Disclaimer Journal, un Magazine, Granville Centre Art Gallery, sweet pea and several more. They recently participated in the Muslim Poetry Project with Sweatshop Literacy Movement and the Asia Pacific Exchange Program with Perth Institute of Contemporary Art and Grey Projects in Singapore. They also perform and DJ semi-regularly under varying pseudonyms.

"Space is scared. We often think that space is related to the physical and the tangible but also the metaphysical. To hold space for someone is a great gift. In today's world, we all have these pockets of existence, but we rarely and genuinely hold space for others that is more than just superficial. To hold space for another is to exist with them at that moment - to share breath and existence. If we want to build the bridges between ignorance and discrimination, we must share breath. australian Indigenous culture is defined by how we are connected. Even before we are born, we have already been given a song- a story. We were born with a place in this world and, with that, a legacy. Through this legacy, we as a people know that we are a part of this land and everything and everyone inhabiting it. We were born to hold space and share breath."
With roots in the Larrakia Nation of Garamilla (Darwin) and Erubam Le peoples of Meriam Mir. A trailblazing filmmaker, broadcaster and community-builder.
