okay, I’m on a roll, wrote another short story/review.

Zarina and I had a chat with Zakia Sewell for her new BBC Radio 4 series ‘Taste.’

I haven’t posted any updates on this site for a few months because I got Covid in March and my health is in the bin again.

My name is Gabrielle de la Puente, Liverpool 📍 she/her I am a writer.

I was on the 2023 jury for the BAFTA Game Awards for the Multiplayer category.

A text I wrote in 2022 is finally out!

You can watch the captioned chat here: “Abi Palmer Invents the Weather is a series of four short films made by the artist Abi Palmer in collaboration with her two cats Cha-u-Kao and Lola Lola.

it’s the latest episode of gabTV (I have covid again and my body is Going Through It so enjoy this because I dunno when the next one of these is going to be!)

on tue 7 march I was on a panel talk titled ‘Group Crit: On the Form and Function of Meme Making’ alongside Hilde Lynn Helphenstein (aka @jerrygogosian) and Cem A.

I can’t really drop a picture here to make it more interesting because the work we did was as ephermal as the subject, so you’re just gonna have to believe me: in a funny turn of events, Dazed invited The White Pube to do an Instagram takeover at Moncler’s

As The White Pube, we haven’t done a Big Proper Official interview in a while.

went to london for a week:

this was fun to make:

what i got up to in dec 2023: unfortunately for the internet, and also my friends and family, my new year’s resolution is to film the things that happen in my life for the sake of posterity. also because I do love editing and I want an excuse to learn more

The White Pube is currently in residency in Sirius Arts Centre in Cobh, County Cork, Ireland.

At the weekend, I was part of A-N’s Assembly Leicester weekender that focused on disability rights, DIY activism and working in the arts.

Very excited to be a juror on next year’s John Moores Painting Prize alongside Yu Hong, Claudette Johnson, Chila Kumari Singh Burman & Alexis Harding.

In terms of teaching, I’ve only ever done lectures and tutorials for art students, and I’ve been winging it this entire time (winging it might be harsh, but lecturing on my work as the white pube feels innately like a fluke).

I spend so much time on youtube because i am on a friend’s premium plan, and I recently decided I should convert some content from The White Pube (which has been exclusively written + audio for years) into videos.

I wanted to nip onto my personal site to share that The White Pube is doing a brief partnership with Mubi to promote the release of the African Desperate by Martine Syms.

I recently chaired an event at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery on the closing weekend of the Found Cities, Lost Objects: Women in the City exhibition.

Gabrielle de la Puente, writer in Liverpool.

99% of my work involves writing but every so often I get to work in a curatorial capacity.

i spoke to Teen Vogue about Long Covid.

A few weeks ago, I had an appointment with the Long Covid Clinic in Liverpool (that has recently changed hands, moving from Aintree hospital to a health centre in Speke).

:) Hope you enjoy the chat

I thought it would be good to keep track of how I have (and haven’t) received support for Long Covid in Liverpool.

deets: Community Radio Tbilisi presents a monthly radio show A Beautiful Staircase in an Abandoned Building (ABSAB) by Ben Tupper, that explores the soundtracks of video games across various genres and console platforms.

this summer, Zarina and I released our first print publication as The White Pube in the form of a pamphlet for Rough Trade Books.

Earlier this year, David Blandy invited me to write a supplement for his TTRPG series Lost Eons.

My first full year writing game reviews was a weird one - deeply concentrated on games, still understanding what they are and what they can do, all the while deep in my feelings becoming housebound from Long Covid.

I was invited to write about Long Covid for the Spring 2021 edition of Real Review.

Today, I am publishing the biggest thing I’ve ever written.
