Virus chic: Facemasks and their usage
This article was written in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic during its early stages of summer 2020. During this time the facemask became a controversial object of debate, but also an ideological apparatus and a performative sign.

‘How soon was now?’: A retrospective on the popularity of nouveau vintage
