scrolla-element-anim-1 scroll-animate\" data-animate=\"active\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Edwina Preston\u2019s Bad Art Mother (2022) is a narrative about motherhood leading to an artist\u2019s withdrawal from the arts industry and vice versa. Veda, an ambivalent housewife and zealous poet in 1960s Melbourne, grants legal guardianship of her young son to a wealthy couple, the Parishes, to allow her more time to write. As implied by the title, this exchange isn\u2019t so simple. She\u2019s a complex figure in a world where sexism and artistic precarity overlap, and motherhood and creative labour remain mutually exclusive. The book is a historical mediation that endures: even if doors look open, gendered expectations still often freeze women out of full participation and recognition in the arts. <\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><!-- #post-10448 -->\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"archive-item\">\n\t<div id=\"post-10409\" class=\"post-10409 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-writing\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/tahneyalexandramay.com\/index.php\/2025\/11\/20\/beat-magazine-jessie-hill-talks-indian-influences-and-fighting-casual-hate-towards-south-asians\/\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tahneyalexandramay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Web-Article-Image-Design-113.jpg?fit=1600%2C1000&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Beat Magazine | Jessie Hill talks Indian influences and fighting \u2018casual hate towards South Asians\u2019\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"category scrolla-element-anim-1 scroll-animate\" data-animate=\"active\">\n\t\t\t\t<span>November 20, 2025<\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"title scrolla-element-anim-1 scroll-animate\" data-animate=\"active\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/tahneyalexandramay.com\/index.php\/2025\/11\/20\/beat-magazine-jessie-hill-talks-indian-influences-and-fighting-casual-hate-towards-south-asians\/\">Beat Magazine | Jessie Hill talks Indian influences and fighting \u2018casual hate towards South Asians\u2019<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text scrolla-element-anim-1 scroll-animate\" data-animate=\"active\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cThe way I write feels like a stream of consciousness,\u201d says Melbourne-based singer, songwriter and producer Jessie Hill, explaining that she often relies on setting and mood. \u201cIt\u2019s like the song already exists and it&#8217;s just about channeling it.\u201d <\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><!-- #post-10409 -->\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"archive-item\">\n\t<div id=\"post-10408\" class=\"post-10408 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-writing\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/tahneyalexandramay.com\/index.php\/2025\/11\/20\/beat-magazine-tjaka-we-got-sick-of-jumping-up-for-one-song-and-then-off-again-lets-do-our-own-thing\/\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tahneyalexandramay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Web-Article-Image-Design-114.jpg?fit=1600%2C1000&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Beat Magazine | TJAKA: \u2018We got sick of jumping up for one song and then off again.
