For full show notes and photos: www.allthroughalens.com   On this episode, we talk to Angel O'brien, @5x7angel on IG, about her strange and beautiful self-portrait and collage work. We'll also be taking a long look at how Kodak advertised to women over a century ago – did they start a revolution or were they just along for the ride? Want a bit of advice? Well, Vania's on call for that; we've got the answering machine, zine reviews, some recommendations, and a whole slew of fun!   Angel O'Brien: 5×7 Angel When we first saw Angel O'Brien's work, we really didn't know what to do with it. What were we looking at? It's a collage, but built around her self-portraits. And those self-portraits aren't really part of a logical reality. They're shifted and distorted, discolored and bent – but it all seems to be coming from a very centered place. Here is some of her work: IG: @5x7angel IG @5x7angel_thebuiltworld IG: @angelobrien.poet web: https://www.5x7angel.com/   Kodak Girls For women, this began to change in the 1870s. The suffragette movement had won for women the sense that men were more in the way than essential (though it had still not procured their right to vote). With the expansion of cities, the job market grew. And with more jobs than men to fill those jobs, women filled the positions. There were still gender norms, of course, but they were changing. What women could and couldn't do in society was shifting. Women were becoming independent. The new generation, especially those born following the Civil War in the 1860s, felt little need for the Victorian ways of their parents and grandparents. They came of age and into their 20s just as photography was about to make a dramatic shift from the stunningly complex to simple. And it was gender norms that would actually carve out a large share of this new photography for women.

She was ones of the most photographed models in the USA..she was The Kodak Girl...she became a getaway driver for the mob (she married a mobster). When mob wars threatened her life, she got in the car and drove California with her 7 year old daughter and became an in demand Hollywood stunt woman- a famed stunt driver who couldn't keep up with the demand for her talents behind the wheel and in front of the camera. Before she turned 20, she had endured a brutal rape, involvement with the mob, a failed marriage, and the birth of her daughter. Fleeing an abusive second marriage to the mafia-tied Joe Lamendola, she began a lucrative career in Los Angeles as one of the country's most successful commercial stunt drivers. The author of the powerful memoir The Company She Keeps, Durante now lives in Southern California and speaks across the country about her experiences with domestic violence. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/burl-barer/support

A story that must be fiction, but it isn't. In her book, "The Company She Keeps", Georgia was a model at twelve and the original Kodak girl whose picture in retail stores everywhere. But her neighborhood was full of mafiosos and Georgia was caught up in some of the action, including driving a getaway car without really knowing it. And that incident laid the groundwork for being a stunt driver in Hollywood. Like she says, each chapter of her book could be a movie.

This is a live recorded one-off episode, hosted in Jigsaw's London Piccadilly store, all about working in the creativity industries from the perspectives of three generations of creative women. I invited Charly Cox (poet, Gen Z), Serena Guen (founder of Suitcase, Millennial) and Lucia White (Head of design at Jigsaw, Gen X) to talk abut the highs, lows and lessons of getting paid to be creative.This month, Jigsaw is launching their “creativity doesn’t discriminate” campaign, to champion women leaders in the creativity industry, through film, photography, prose and art. Government statistics show that women are still under-represented in the creative industries in the UK - there's never been a more important time to champion creative women.In collaboration with Kodak, Jigsaw are re-launching a 125 year-old campaign – Kodak Girl – into the modern era to celebrate new creative talent. The collaboration - now called Kodak Woman (she has grown up!) - will be supported by a capsule collection of T-shirts and sweatshirts. Check out Jigsaw's blog, where they are showcasing young female talent across the UK: https://www.jigsaw-online.com/blogThanks to those who came along to listen to this special in-store recording, shopped, and had prossecco!Here are some things we spoke about:- How does social media impact our creativity? - How can a branded campaign stand the test of time? - How do you deal with people who don't believe in you? - How can we make money and still remain creatively pure? - How can be help the younger generations to get into the creative industry? - How commercially-minded do you want to be? - How do you switch off from an all-encompassing creative role?*This was event was in partnership with Jigsaw*​ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Early Kodak advertising is mostly associated with the iconic image of the Kodak Girl. Then in the 1930s, Eastman Kodak Company turned their advertising campaigns over to the New York advertising agency J. Walter Thompson. How did this change affect the public image of Kodak? Claudia Pretelin, art historian, will explore this era of Kodak advertising and how it created the basis for the so-called snapshot aesthetic. Claudia Pretelin holds a BA in communications and received her MA and PhD in art history from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). For ten years, she worked as a personal assistant to the Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide. In 2011, she was awarded a fellowship from the Mexican National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) in support of her continuing research in Kodak advertising at the George Eastman Museum. She has worked for different museums, foundations, and photo collections in Mexico City, including the Fotoseptiembre Festival in 1999 and the International Biennial of Photography in 2000. She is currently exhibitions associate at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center in Rochester, New York.
