Current Obsession offers its digital publishing platform to a selection of writers, exploring a variety of motifs on a monthly basis. This year, the pieces are selected in accordance with the theme 𝘓𝘈𝘕𝘎𝘜𝘈𝘎𝘌. Through the articles we dive into visual languages, the communication of objects, the significance of iconography and symbolism. ICONOGRAPHY & IDEOGRAMS explores the role of symbols and icons through culture and history, weaving meaning and significance as they move through time and space. ’Glory to Mother Scrub’ explicates the connection between the rise of homemaking content on social media and the valorisation of the hybrid superwoman-mother-worker of the Soviet Union. Through thought-provoking and entertaining prose, Tamm’s article oscillates between images of the contemporary 21st femme homemaker and the Soviet clean and neat superwoman, drawing surprising parallels between the two. 📷 1.
