As I approach the 100th episode of The Messy Truth Podcast, I’ve been reflecting on how much photography has shifted since I began the project in 2018. At that time, media was changing, a shift was happening in the artworld—both in how it functions and how young photographers were beginning to infiltrate a space which was previously closed to them—cornerstone publications were disintegrating, the attention economy was peaking, the way information and value circulates was shifting. There were a lot of things happening at the same time. Now, seven years later, photography is rapidly changing again, new challenges have emerged on multiple planes. My hope is that the podcast can be a space to have messy conversations about where we have been and where we might go next. New episodes coming soon!

It’s been a while since I’ve been so deeply moved by an artists work and the ways in which they speak to it and through it. @devdhunsi latest work Mixed, which was recently exhibited and published by @selfpublishbehappy is an invitation to traverse photographic genres, moving between document, fiction, myth, darkroom interventions and performance, never settling or being pinned down. This is only amplified by the books sequence, which loops, glitches, and contradicts itself, functioning like a labyrinth of ideas and emotions rather than a narrative.

I’m looking forward to being in conversation with @lisa_jahovic on Saturday 6th June @flowersgallery to discuss her new work, Soft Interruptions, that explores the subtle, absurd disruptions - small fractures in the ordinary that reveal tension, humour, and the poetic instability of everyday life. RSVP link in stories or on the Flowers website.

In this year’s Peckham 24 in London, Vinca Petersen returned with 'HULALA' – a deeply personal exploration of home, collectivity, and starting again – curated by Gem Fletcher.

Approaching her 50th birthday, Petersen set out to reimagine what it means to live differently: building not just a house, but a shared way of life rooted in land, community, creativity, and care. Inspired by Joseph Beuys’ concept of social sculpture, 'HULALA' asks what home could become when freed from ownership and individualism – a place of transformation, shelter, education, and exchange.

Built by many hands – friends, family, villagers, students, and strangers – the home at the centre of the work became both a communal creation and a refuge for all. Through photography and storytelling, Petersen captures the tension between old traditions and new rituals, independence and interdependence, vulnerability and resilience.

NEW EPISODE of The Messy Truth podcast: I chat to Ahndraya Parlato about her latest book, TIME TO KILL an interrogation of gendered aging, unpacking the ideals of beauty, caretaking, and maternal and domestic duty imposed on women over the course of their lives. In our roving conversation we keep returning to the the inbetween, the murky - this subversive space with many questions but few answers, where you embrace the complexity rather than tidy it up.

The Messy Truth x Peckham 24: Charlotte Cotton
Saturday 16th May at 4PM

Gem Fletcher is joined by curator and writer Charlotte Cotton for a candid conversation about the state of photography institutions and how we might choose to retool them for the future. Can we re-animate the foundations of photography as a cultural arena and build anew? How do we participate in imagining a future that maintains our agency and supports us to make and disseminate visual stories? Is it possible for us to create more expansive practices that support independent thinking and preserve our intellectual properties? How can we cultivate new community standards that support many, rather than a few?

The Messy Truth x Peckham 24: Vinca Petersen
Saturday May 16th,2:30pm

Gem Fletcher speaks with artist Vinca Petersen about her new body of work HULALA. Featuring photographs, text and personal ephemera, the project is a multivalent exploration of home and collectivity tracing four years of change and upheaval in which Vinca reimagined her life from scratch, becoming part of the small remote community of Crofters in Skye. HULALA is a sprawling diaristic window into the space between old traditions and new rituals, independence and community and strength and vulnerability. The work, which is on show at Peckham 24, builds upon some of the values in her cult work No System, but from a new perspective - thirty years on in a very different world.

The Messy Truth x Peckham 24: Amelia Abraham & Bernice Mulenga
Session 1: Saturday 16th May, at 11am
I’m thrilled to speak to artist Bernice Mulenga and author Amelia Abraham about the ways in which photography intersects with pleasure, politics, and protest in Queer nightlife. The talk will explore the connections between #friendsonfilm, Bernice’s ten year project documenting the people who shape contemporary LGBTQ+ BIPOC dancefloors and Amelia’s latest book Sex, Clubs, Dissent: Visualising Queer Nightlife which charts an expansive visual history of queer nightlife. Together they will discuss the ways in which Queer artists, past and present, have been informed by the dancefloor and used it to dream new modes of being into existence.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible.
