Consistent with all prior seasons, Jean Smart’s role as Deborah Vance in Hacks is hilarious while emphasizing the series’ emotional integrity.

She won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for the fifth consecutive time—the first performer to win an acting Emmy for every season of a series. The victory also brought her career Emmy total to eight, tying her with Cloris Leachman and Julia Louis-Dreyfus for the most acting Emmy wins by a performer.

After five seasons of Hacks, Jean’s unprecedented sweep is a fitting recognition of her remarkable run as Deborah Vance. Read more about the hit show Hacks and Jean's incredible career. 🔗 in bio.

Playwright and director Aleshea Harris demonstrate

Playwright and director Aleshea Harris demonstrates what it means to authentically showcase Black women in media in Is God Is. The genre-bending Southern Gothic thriller, Is God Is, spotlights female rage in the new 2026 screen adaptation.

Having Black characters with complex moral landscapes appear in films that challenge traditional ethics is essential. Congratulations to Aleshea Harris for bringing to life the beautiful truth that Black women do not exist in a monolith

The energy in the theatre was palpable after IFC’s

The energy in the theatre was palpable after IFC’s screening of Mary Harron’s 1996 feature film debut I Shot Andy Warhol.

Indie darling, Lili Taylor, portrays the infamous radical feminist, Valerie Solanas, author of the SCUM Manifesto and attempted assassin of Andy Warhol. The irreverent drama charts Valerie’s life and her relationship with Warhol.

Read about this film through the lens of the director herself:

Hungry Women written by Melissa Maney and directed

Hungry Women written by Melissa Maney and directed by Daniella Caggiano (now playing at Manhattan’s SoHo Playhouse) moves across time in three acts to tell a complicated story of vengeance, reconstruction, and attempts at justice.

Starring Sophie Zmorrod, Zoe Dean, Mariyea, and an outstanding Julia Lester, this riot of a show is sprinkled with a healthy dose of dark humor and honest commentary about the patriarchy.

With a cast of only four, the audience is able to gain insight into the specific struggles of each character. This intimacy suggests that the strength of this show is in its characters, rather than the overarching theme. 🔗 in bio to read our review.

In its inaugural year, Fall of Freedom sponsored nearly 750 artistic events across the USA, Mexico, and Europe. These gatherings included exhibitions, variety shows, open mics, crafting, and much more. Anything an organizer would dream up could be registered and advertised on the Fall of Freedom website as an official event.

This year, Fall of Freedom will return from October 2-4 for a weekend of artistic creation and political defiance. We hope that this October even more of you will lend your time and talent to support Fall of Freedom’s vital mission!

In July, Americans across the nation celebrated the 250th anniversary in which the colonies gained their independence from Britain.

As Nikole Hannah-Jones notes in her anthology book, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story, the first displays of Patriotism were birthed primarily to protect colonists’ right to own enslaved Africans.

The 1619 Project is one of the most important works to grace the shelves of bookstores and screens across America, in part because of the current attack on education of black history, but also because of the federal government’s attempts to reverse diversity and equality initiatives in the workplace, because of law enforcement’s constant disregard for Black lives, and so much more.

With the seventh anniversary passing this August, c. 🔗 in bio.

On August 14th, Yayoi Kusama, passed away in her studio at the age of 97.

We, at FF2 Media reflect on her work, life and legacy.

"I think that harkens back to her experience growing up in Japan in the years just after the Atomic Bomb. That aspect of Japanese history clearly influenced her work. She was fortunate because she lived outside the areas hit by the atomic bombs, but it had a huge impact on all of Japan’s culture. Her work really comes from this lifelong pursuit of peace," wrote a contributor.

Celebrate the boundless creativity and passion of Yayoi Kusama today! Visit our site to read more about her work. 🔗 in bio.

Lindsay Adams’s The Weary Blues brings to mind a phrase coined by Black poet and community activist Tricia Hersey, “Rest is resistance.” Taking time to rest, to create, and to find things that bring you joy is an act of resistance to a world that leaves you weary.

The Weary Blues is showcased in the OPC’s Museum Cafe. Originally an oil painting created in 2024, Lindsay reimagined it as multiple silkscreen panels to better suit the space. 🔗 in bio to read more.

Heather Christian: a writer, composer, performer, and now a newly minted 2025 MacArthur Fellow.

Back in 2017, Heather was staging her musical performance piece Animal Wisdom at the Bushwick Starr on a meager $75 budget; she was barefoot onstage, surrounded by ghosts, shrines, and a choir singing into the darkness.

Almost a decade later, Heather is still stunning audiences with eclectic, experimental performances that speak deeply to her Southern roots and Catholic upbringing. 🔗 in bio to read more.
