The Sleepover Club: How Social Media Aestheticised Loneliness

The Sleepover Club: How Social Media Aestheticised Loneliness

Independence is sold to us as a necessity, as YouTubers and TikTok stars emphasise the need for being an individualist and having your own space. But can promoting isolation ever be dangerous? Are we allowed to say we feel lonely when alone? Hosts Ione Gamble and Halima Jibril explore loneliness as a self preservation tool in order to avoid vulnerability, the online aspiration to thrive on your own and how any of us can afford being alone in the first place.


Pre-order Ione's book, Poor Little Sick Girls, here!
