Is Pink The New Blue?

2024-01-03T14:56:44+00:00January 3rd, 2024|Categories: Bexclusive Magazine, Culture|Tags: |

By Sofia Visco The colour pink was recently decreed to be the colour of the year 2023 thanks to the release of Greta Gerwig’s film "Barbie", starring the actors Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Pink is traditionally linked to the iconic doll from which the film takes its name, and it is definitely the dominant colour in the film. This pink invasion was anticipated by fashion designer Valentino with his "Valentino Pink PP Collection" presented last autumn. But few [...]

What’s What in Politics in 2023

2024-03-14T15:16:14+00:00January 7th, 2023|Categories: Bexclusive Magazine, Culture, Politics|Tags: , |

written by Jean Lancaster It's pretty understandable that we switch off from the world of politics sometimes. It can certainly feel exhausting and 2022 was a particularly tumultuous year. Will 2023 be calmer, steadier, and altogether more ordinary? Entering the year with the same leaders, problems, and frustrations as last year, that is something yet to be seen. But that uncertainty doesn’t mean we can’t be sure of what’s what in politics for the new year and I hope [...]

The world is a war for our attention People are spending more and more time online. The Internet can be an amazing tool for creation, enjoyment and socialising. Many companies such as Instagram have taken advantage of their useful products to hook us to our screens.

The Death of Women’s Rights

2024-03-14T15:19:37+00:00September 7th, 2022|Categories: Bexclusive Magazine, Culture, Politics|Tags: , , , |

written by Dayton Campbell Is Enough, Enough? When I asked my friend their favourite things about being a woman, I waited a while for a response until they reached the conclusion that 'nearly all the things I think about being a woman are negative.' The more I thought about this I realised the truth in their answer. Although we have come a long way since the suffragette movement, in the end, even today are we as free and liberated [...]

Should the Lewes Bonfire Change?

2024-03-14T15:24:30+00:00September 7th, 2022|Categories: Bexclusive Magazine, Culture, Local Events|Tags: , |

Every November 5th since the 1600s, the narrow streets of Lewes have hosted an event that’s evolved from a Protestant riot to a massive, attention-grabbing spectacle of tar barrels, burning crosses and often cryptic papier-mâché caricatures ripped straight from the year’s headlines. The Lewes Bonfire now hosts over thirty societies, each with their own variations on tradition, theme and costumes but all seeming reactionary, tone-deaf and archaic in a modern Sussex town. Unlike a lot of Guy Fawkes events, [...]

Are You Keen for Keane?

2024-03-14T15:28:32+00:00September 7th, 2022|Categories: Bexclusive Magazine, Music|Tags: , |

Let’s take a walk Somewhere Only We Know? Maybe to the Sovereign Light Café? Maybe we can Try Again to live this life in Perfect Symmetry and get through these Phases. Keane’s journey started in 1995 when keyboardist Tim Rice-Oxley formed a band with Dominic Scott and Richard Hughes named The Lotus Eaters performing covers. In 1997, Chris Martin invited Rice-Oxley to join Coldplay, but Tim declined. This offering led Tom Chaplin to join, renaming the band to Cherry [...]

Cool Women

2023-11-02T12:07:23+00:00September 7th, 2022|Categories: Bexclusive Magazine, Culture|Tags: , , , |

written by Enyd Ford Sometimes, it seems as if women were invisible before the Suffragette movement and the World Wars; that they existed almost solely as housewives and mothers. This is absolutely not true. Whilst prejudice, restriction and oppression have undeniably impacted upon women’s life chances, there have always been those who challenged these expectations. So, in the name of female empowerment, here are three amazing women who lived their lives boldly and freely.   Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122-1204) Eleanor [...]

Bonfire Night – Guy Fawkes Day

2023-11-02T11:48:20+00:00September 7th, 2022|Categories: Bexclusive Magazine, Culture, Local Events|Tags: , , |

What is Bonfire Night? Bonfire night is more commonly known as Guy Fawkes Day on the 5th November. You may remember this nursery rhyme from primary school: “Remember, remember the Fifth of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot, I see no reason Why the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot.” So, on November 5th, 1605, Guy Fawkes and a group of radical English Catholics tried to assassinate King James I by blowing up Parliament's House of Lords. This plot [...]

Humanising the Holocaust

2023-11-02T11:48:38+00:00September 7th, 2022|Categories: Bexclusive Magazine, Culture|Tags: , , , , |

The Holocaust: Why is it important to remember? The Holocaust is widely considered one of the most tragic events in recent history – and that is an issue. Confining the Holocaust to ‘history’ is a common mistake for a couple of reasons: firstly, the persecution of minorities is very much ongoing, and with all that has happened within countries such as Ukraine and Iran, it is more important than ever to understand people’s fight for identity and freedom. Secondly, [...]
