“What we have now is a nightmarish loop, girls getting older younger, women wanting to be younger earlier, and the middle once a noisy, messy, formative adolescence getting thinner and thinner.” The endlessly wise @Ellen Atlanta , author of Pixel Flesh, takes us through @Wellcome Collection The Coming of Age exhibition, and reflects on the weird push and pull of ageing for women in 2026 - wanting to grow up sooner, and wanting to be younger sooner too ❤️‍🩹 The Coming of Age shows at the Wellcome Collection until 29 November 💟 #wellcomecollection #polyesterzine #comingofage #girlhood
