Underexposed: Recognizing Women in Photography

In 2018, a study was conducted across 820,000 art exhibitions that were public and commercial sectors, discovering that only one-third of the museums and galleries featured women artists. Further, a data analysis of 18 major art museums found their collections are 87% male and 85% white. Simply put, women artists and photographers have had to consistently fight for recognition.

The High Museum of Art created an exhibit called “Underexposed” to shed light on diverse female photographers throughout history.

Sophie and the Giants: UK’s Latest Pop Sensation

“For as long as I can remember there were people telling me I needed a real job, or a backup plan. But I always felt: ‘I have no choice, there’s nothing other than music I ever want to do.”

-Sophie Scott

As music has progressed over time, taking on new forms and redefining genres in the process, we as listeners have learned to embrace the ever-changing sounds of the present and future. For Sophie and the Giants, a four-member group formed in Sheffield, England, narrowing down their music to one specific genre would almost be counterproductive.

Naomi Osaka: Opening the Way

Professional sports have never been there to care for the players that bring them such large amounts of money and attention; from the chronic traumatic encephalopathy in professional football to severely underpaying the WNBA and the Women’s National Soccer Team. Aspects of athletics that are not frequently in the conversation are physical health, aftereffects of a professional career, or work-life balance, let alone the mental health of current athletes in their prime. Recently, tennis star Naomi Osaka has been the feature of news due to her refusal to do press for the French Open, and her ultimate withdrawal from the tournament and announcement of a hiatus from the sport.

The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It

What’s your favorite horror movie series? I have two, The Amityville Horrors and most recently Insidious. I’ve always loved horror movies. When I was a kid, I loved the thrill of getting scared. 

The nightmares, though? 

That part was trash, but it never prevented me from checking out the next haunting or creepy movie. I’m more interested in the paranormal and possession movies, they seem more believable to me. It’s also a bonus if the film is based on a true story. The Conjuring series checks all of those boxes, and has done a good job at depicting what’s reported to be real-life events. So with the most recent film, The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It, I was fully on board to check it out.

Elly Karamoh: Bespoke Connoisseur

Making a name for yourself among the most famous as one of the best up-and-coming creative directors is not easy. Especially when your take on fashion is a little more casual, and a little less suit and tie. Dressing the rich and famous is not an easy job, especially if you want your designs to stand out, when they appear on the red carpet. 

Celebrity Wardrobe Stylist Elly Johan Karamoh has been immensely recognized in the last year by styling one of America’s favorite tv show host, Steve Harvey.
