Episode 5: Pinkwashing and influencer feminism
Pinkwashing, greenwashing, rainbowwashing… Traps are everywhere. Can the feminist struggle help us? Or can she too be prey to the logic of capitalist commodification? The fifth episode of Humvn is dedicated to this: pinkwashing, feminism influencer, digital activism and yes, Chiara Ferragni too. Spoiler: We don’t have the answers, we swing in our rankings too. However, we want to have the courage to share some of our ideas, not only to deconstruct the predominant systems, but also to reconstruct new narratives and new approaches. Constructive criticism is also love. @chiaraferragni and @michelamurgia the episode contains an invitation to untie these knots with us on the podcast, would you like to participate?
