I’m Robin, Editor of Misstropolis.
I hope this site brings you some joy and some knowledge (or at least a nice distraction) during this surreal, enlightening and historic time.
I like to write about art, style and purpose. If you have ideas for stories or would like to contribute, I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks for reading!

Banu Cennetoğlu's right? opens September 30 at MAAM and runs through February 28, 2027. The Turkish artist articulates Articles 25 and 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in gold Mylar balloons, asking if language crafted to protect human rights is no better than hot air. The show opens alongside Robert Lazzarini's metes and bounds, both questioning the stability of systems and symbols often assumed to be fixed: human rights, national iconography, and governing bodies.
