About this listen

A conversation about expansion, exploration, and honesty at mid-career with fashion professor Arti Sandhu. Arti’s Instagram @sideways_toupee is a playful personal project and a serious scholarly discourse on embodiment, image-making, globalism, and place in contemporary fashion.

We talk about how the work of @sideways_toupee has raised uncomfortable tensions around mid-career, the urge to create beyond traditional boundaries while navigating fears around legitimacy, and the radical possibilities of honesty in academia.

Plus, as a @sideways_toupee fan, I get to ask my burning question: what does Arti’s closet look like?
