Summer 2024. The weekly antiques market in East London's Spitalfields. The ritualistic Thursday lunchtime meander through the temples of tat and treasure. Nineties digital cameras and sketchy art-class nudes. Mid-century plastic plates and chipped, kintsugi-ready ramen bowls. 'Girls Girls Girls' in vibrant, kitschy neon cheek-by-jowl with well-thumbed copies of Sontag, hooks, Solnit and Greer.
This is how it happened.
