hello beloveds! some things you can check out and come to this month.
the release of ester freider’s (hi that’s me) MA diss “Forever Mediated: Feminist Erotic Texts and the Seduction Economy” at Bimbo Rhetoric
in this piece i analyse what anais nin’s delta of venus and arvida bystrom’s in the clouds in regards to what opportunities pornography can create for feminist (or at least feminine) artmaking. i use the term “pink eroticism” to denote the exploitation of men’s sexual attention for feminine/female political and artistic ends. the whole pdf is available with optional donation on their website!
“A coy call to the enlighted libertine.” — Lydia Sviatoslavsky
“… manages to provide a hopeful and pragmatic view of porn as a feminist tool without succumbing to the naive idealism from which many pro-porn arguments suffer.” — Sophie Browning / Joan of Arca

open call “PRINCESS” until June 15 for our substack
thinking about the post-scarcity dragonhearted singularity, the ghost of the american dream, pampering fetishes, the meaning of luxury. submit your princess-based polemics and graphics to everyoneisagirl@gmail.com by june 15, 2025 for a chance to be showcased in this new release.
something really weird is going to happen on may 25 at Ethereal Maison Gallery
umm…… yeah…. don’t tell anyone yet because tickets arent out its a secret between all 200 of us….. and our 15 or so delicious and beautiful and charming maids….. but save the date…… it’s a sunday…
misc: looking to expand us beyond london, so i’ll be very casually looking for collaborators in other cities (preferably europe) to do some weird shit this summer/fall for eiag. i’m looking for individuals and collectives that could bring something creative to the table as well act as an anchor to the city and its community. if you have an idea for something we could do or a starting point from which we could build something — the weirder and more theatrical the better — and potentially some spaces in your city in mind, please do drop us an email or a dm! particularly interested in paris, berlin, vienna.
hope everyone’s having a great prelude to their summer and see you all soon! <333333333
