Along with the rise of Mussolini’s fascist regime, the interwar years in Italy also saw the widespread development of its modernist interior design and furnishing practices. While the regime’s politics were overtly manifest in monumental government architecture, Furnishing Fascism: Modernist Design and Politics in Italy (University of Minnesota Press, 2025) by Dr. Ignacio G. Galán examines the subtler yet effective role of household goods and decor in the cultivation of Italy’s exclusionary sense of national identity. Presenting a fresh look at the work of various architects and designers, including iconic figures such as Gio Ponti and Carlo Enrico Rava, Dr. Galán explores how seemingly neutral products of everyday life contributed to the propagation of fascist ideology. Through extensive promotion in popular magazines and department stores, on the film sets of Cinecittà Studios, and throughout the country’s colonial territories, Italy’s modernist design practices were part of a larger political project that aimed to produce a totalizing image of cultural hegemony. Interweaving design theory, architectural history, and media scholarship, Furnishing Fascism reexamines the period’s so-called minor arts to reveal the political entanglement of modernism in early twentieth-century Italy and offers valuable insight into the complications of cultural production under the auspices of authoritarian power. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

We're lost in the stacks in this long-awaited episode of JodoWOWsky, not only covering half a year of Alejandro Jodorowsky news but tackling two of his most beloved - and complex - comics works, starting with his masterwork collaboration with the legendary Georges Bess THE WHITE LAMA and finishing with the lush, grotesque historical narrative THE BORGIAS, created with the equally legendary Milo Manara. There's plenty of wild, obscene, confusing and bizarre material to chat about, so let's get started! The post Episode 281 – JodoWOWsky Part 17 – The White Lama (1988 – 1993) & The Borgias (2004 – 2010) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

In this episode of The Creative Boom Podcast, Katy Cowan is joined by Fiona McGarva, founder of Sundae Communications and longtime collaborator with Shangri-La at Glastonbury Festival. They explore how Fiona and the team have completely reimagined how they communicate with audiences—ditching traditional social media announcements in favour of handmade risograph posters, seed packets, and direct, analogue experiences that celebrate slowness and real-world connection. Fiona shares how Shangri-La's new theme, 'The Wilding', is more than just a creative direction—it's a complete reset, inviting us all to consider how we share stories, connect with people, and move away from platforms we don't truly own. The conversation is a refreshing and empowering reminder that creativity can flourish in new ways, especially when we embrace age, messiness, and the freedom to do things differently. Together, Katy and Fiona reflect on their careers in PR, the shifts they've seen across media and design, and the joy of doing things on your own terms. Expect nostalgia, a few Pedro Pascal tangents, and plenty of wisdom on everything from personal growth to rediscovering magic in our work and lives. This season is proudly sponsored by the School of Communication Arts.
