I’ve Never Met Anyone Quite Like You
“Phenomenal” - ★★★★ Queer stories are finally being told at an increased rate. More films, tv shows and theatre are producing stories based on LGBTQ+ issues that are an essential lifeline for queer people to watch, be involved in, relate to, highlight issues the community faces, and provide a safe space where there otherwise may not be one. The Edinburgh Fringe has for many years now been a safe space for shows on a whole host of different cultures, and a place for the LGBTQ+ community to provide accessible productions for the mixing bowl of different people that make up our society.

Duchamp’s Fountain: A Critique
Duchamp's "Fountain" turns a urinal into "art," challenging taste and questioning the value of skill. The ready-made object mocks artistic effort, making the beholder question, "Why is this art?" It reeks of elitism to some, but it birthed the Conceptual art movement, shifting focus from the physical to intellectual .

A Brief Thought: The Magic Flute
The Magic Flute sucks. Why? It reeks of misogyny. Its iconic music can’t make up for its problematic plotline. Exhibit A: The Queen of the Night (a strong independent woman who tolerates zero BS from men) is portrayed as an arrogant b*tch.

St. Catherine of Alexandria (1507-1509)
While St. Catherine of Alexandria is not one of Raphael's most famous paintings, it is my favorite. Catherine leans against the medieval torture wheel that was intended to kill her, but broke instead - indicating that one can overcome adversity. Stylistically influenced by da Vinci, Catherine's facial expression evokes ecstasy.

The Duct Taped Banana
Cattelan's 'Comedian' is what happens when Dadaism meets Home Depot and your local market. A taped banana parades as profound commentary, mocking both artist and patron. An emblem of excess, it encapsulates a culture fixated on novelty over substance. It sold for $120,000 but I think Warhol would've canned it.

Analyzing Illmatic
Nas' debut album, Illmatic, holds its place in hip-hop history despite its perennial critique of brevity. Revered within hip-hop culture as a classic, the album's exceptional production roster echoes the weight of expectations carried by the young artist's inaugural masterpiece. The producers assembled are some of the all time greats.
