Being alive is sublime, and nothing makes you feel more alive than experiencing cringe. Does that make cringe equal to the sublime? In our latest SEED @federmess talks about how cringe fuels culture and where, along the way, it might tip into the sublime. SEED | #8310 DATE | 15.04.25 PLANTED BY | ELIZAVETA FEDERMESSER

In this new BAG TALK episode, Elizaveta Federmesser @federmess is joined by writer, editor and curator, Claire Marie Healy @clairemahealy , whose Girlhood Studies project @girlhoodstudies explores how visual culture shapes the experiences of young women. Following the recent MoMu show GIRLS: On Boredom, Rebellion and Being In-Between, we talk girlhood as research practice; Kirsten Dunst filmography as a spectrum; fairytales; Ariana Grande in a hoodie with nails out; the path from the safety of the childhood bedroom and all its tchotchkes to the dark forest of cerebral girl theory and projected femininity; why horizontal stripes are girlhood coded; the safety blanket of the tumblr feed and the old hard drive gold rush; screencap culture and the magic of yellow subtitles; the power of teen print; “get ready with me” choreography; and dropping dead and gorgeous. Listen on Substack, Apple, and Spotify. @bagmag.official

Spare bag and a change of footwear to present yourself to Paris and Mona Lisa

Grandiose and the Sublime : SOUND ON If the concert is good you will be rewatching those videos. It’s okey. The moment is forever. The first slide is Kylie. The stadium cried. Weeped! It was glorious. Addison was like the most gorgeous self-administrated marionette- in a sense, that she is so aware of the play, the selves, and the game. The Dare was a blast from the past with fab lighting. Thought I ripped my jeans - the whole crotch seam, zip to bum- jumping. Legendary. Baby Morocco is a true party monster gem delight! Jamie XX had the worst crowd, but the disco-ball is always a plus. My 30th bday was the most beautiful day with my friends, blessed. Jamiroquai was loco. Great to know nothing about the artist but their music: very liberating. Radiohead. And then Berlin Philharmonic the next day. Mastery is for the greatest.

Happy Chinese New Year! The Year of the Fire Horse! In this holiday special, BAG TALK host Elizaveta Federmesser talks to Jiayun Yan (JY) , a scholar of digital cultures specializing in internet phenomena and subcultures in China, and founder of @996_doomscroll , a new media platform on all things China-core. As a fellow fake bag connoisseur, JY weights in on Chinesemaxxing, holistic Guangzhou shopping experience, Martian Language, rural kitch, institutional boyfriend frenzy, counterfeits and character building, night malls, the P brand: Loro Piana, on tiering the gods and fortunetelling, freedom of speech, reducted epstein files, soft madness, collective anonymity on the censored web, staying performative, on why you need a stunt double to be popular, larping as a bureaucrat for romantic gain, and why badminton is hot at the moment. And don’t forget to stay quantum, babe! Blessings! Listen to BAG TALK with Elizaveta Federmesser on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Substack. @federmess @fabricant_fang @bagmag.official
