Sat 21 July - Hannah Rose Kessler - hairy armpits

Hannah Rose Kessler talks about her music and this moment in her life after graduation. Where now?

Meanwhile, young women will be sexy on their own terms with hairy armpits and stupid shoes, whatever they want. She describes the catharsis of singing, expressing vulnerability and anger, and tells stories of her punk-burlesque band The Quim Smashers.

Reflecting on practising this particular art in and out of prison.
