#128: Callout Culture or Accountability, 1997 Fashion, Debutante

Can callout culture create actionable change? The removing and recontextualising of past problematic art is one thing, but we’re reminded to keep our foot on the pedal when there are some big issues at stake. A piece on 1997 fashion is a stretch (but of course we’ll take it), and a new podcast on Debutante Balls has us looking at this old tradition through a new lens.
