The Crit #30: Mr Threads
Barbie versus Oppenheimer isn’t the only blockbuster behemoth this month, as The Crit releases its 30th episode.
Following a discussion of design moments in cinema, hosts Oli Stratford and India Block discuss the unsettling implications of the allegations against David Adjaye; debate the merits of Meta’s Twitter dupe Threads; and visit the Young V&A, an impressive museum revamp that’s been tarnished by the removal of LGBTQ+ materials.
The special interview this month is with Paul Simmons, one half of design studio Timorous Beasties, to go behind the scenes on their upcoming collection White Wash Wish.
