Uh Huh Her — Rachel Cattle

An unnamed, female narrator travels through school, then art school, then art school teaching jobs, finding or fashioning "the selves of herself" via encounters with PJ Harvey, the ghosts of Ann Quin, Susan Sontag, and a mansplaining Analyst that she first encounters in her grandparents' garden. Both a love letter to creative life, and a requiem for all that is lost in its pursuit, UH HUH HER asks is it possible to record-and retain-our experiences of being on the outside? Or can such stories only exist within the institutions that shape them?
