The White Pube
The White Pube is the collaborative identity of Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad under which we write about art and video games. 99% of all exhibition reviews are boring and don’t really say anything except describing what’s in an exhibition and telling you when it ends. Cba for that. We started The White Pube to actually state how art makes us feel (happy, bored, angry or in love for example); we fall through feelings, and write about the art on the way. With strong language and adult content, TWP can be found here on this website but also on Instagram and Twitter. It might look all big and proper but we cannot stress enough that it is simply the two of us thinking out loud from our respective homes in Liverpool and London. We are the opposite of old white men with posh accents and there’s no office, salary, or registered company involved here. Yes, we understand this is the maddest job we will probably ever do, being critics. We have part-time jobs on the side and some generous readers fund what we write through Patreon. So, if you are new here or could do with a reminder: a heads up that we are not here to be professional or polite, not here to cheerlead, and we are not doing this to suck up to powerful people in the art world. We’re not the smartest people or the most entertaining. Just want to write about art that makes us feel some type of way, and to sometimes critique this industry as a whole and the mad ways it fucks people over. Started writing about video games recently too and enjoying it a lot, finding my feet there.
Since October 2015, we have had our heads down publishing a review or an essay every Sunday rain or shine, so there’s a lot of content on this site now. I hope you find some value in it all but we also won’t be offended if you couldn’t give a shit. Art’s not the be all and end all. You live your life, my friend. VBW, GDLP+ZM.
