Relevant: The Only Social Network Built On Trust

Interview with LEILAH WEINRAUB, the Artist, Director, and Hood By Air Co-Founder on how to make your own utopia. “A utopic club or a utopic moment or a group, or a collaboration is hard to sell. It’s not a franchise, it's an experience. It's an exchange between people. There’s also some privacy involved in it. It's a little bit closed. That's like rerouting the kind of energy that people are giving right now. Your expression doesn't have to be able to reach everyone on earth, you can actually have a smaller group of people that you're communicating to in a one-on-one way. The hyper-local feels more utopic to me.”

World-building inside but against institutions takes time. Both HBA and Shakedown messed with gender with an unprecious yet complicated gusto, leaning into the noir textures of a radical and experimental underground, and arguably without selling it out. And if Hood by Air managed to skirt its relation to the governing terms of luxury fashion, famously declining outside investors, Shakedown—for which Weinraub shot 400 hours of footage—similarly sits in an unconventional zone between the worlds of documentary and art.
