In our final episode of 2022, we unpack the wave of Global South media overtaking (and possibly decolonizing) our social media feeds. We discuss Bella Hadid’s epic pilgrimages to the Middle East, Brazilian child dance battles, M.I.A.‘s groundbreaking globalist maximalism, ethnic fan fictions of the modern day, and more. Happy New Year ... We are the world!!
