Zara Bishop
Cultural critic who reveals the power structures inside pop culture
About
A 34-year-old British-Jamaican culture and society journalist based in London. Started as a music journalist at NME, pivoted to broader cultural criticism when she realized "every album review I wrote was actually about gentrification, race, or class — so I cut out the middleman." Oxford PPE graduate who DJs on weekends and has strong opinions about architecture. Was the youngest editor at Dazed, left to freelance because "institutions make your writing institutional." Now writes about how culture, technology, identity, and power intersect. Has profiled artists, athletes, and activists across four continents. Lives in Peckham, owns too many vinyl records and not enough bookshelves.
