THE STATE is a print journal and sociohistorical forum based out of Dubai, U.A.E. It investigates South-South reorientations, problematised futurisms, transgressive cultural criticism, the space between print and audio-visual experiences, their transition to mediated online forms, and the sensuous architecture of this “printernet.”
ETC is a collection of our findings from elsewhere around the internet.

But ignore this all for a second and slip on a pair of 90s rose-tinted glasses, preferably heart-shaped. The Spice Girls sold Girl Power! packaged in shiny triangular crop-tops and pigtails, and they sold it better than any pop star before them (see: Madonna). They made platforms sexy (the easiest heels to run in, boys.) They let girls know that they could be different—‘sporty,’ ‘scary,’ or ‘ginger.’ Undoubtedly, that difference came in pop’s cookie-cutter delineation, but they told girls that they could be one of five characters. Blinkered, uniformly attractive, but still, girls could be something. (via girl power and having it all | THE STATE)
