IYLA On Transforming Grief Into Power With Debut Album "Weeping Angel"

In this powerful episode of The UNTITLED Podcast, host Indira Cesarine sits down with visionary alt-R&B artist Iyla to unpack the creative and emotional journey behind her debut album Weeping Angel. Co-written and executive produced with longtime collaborator Kadis, the record marks a defining chapter for Iyla—one that channels the heartbreak of losing her mother into a bold meditation on love, spirituality, and rebirth. Throughout the conversation, Iyla shares intimate insight into her songwriting process, discussing how she transformed grief into empowerment and discovered new parts of herself through art. She opens up about the dualities that define her music—strength and softness, sensuality and sorrow—and how tracks like “Corset,” “Pledge,” and “Blue Eyes” mirror her own evolution as a woman and artist. From the cinematic visuals that bring her songs to life, to her long-standing creative bond with Kadis, to what it means to reclaim confidence and identity after loss, Iyla’s reflections are as fearless as her music. The episode captures an artist standing firmly in her truth—one who has turned pain into power and vulnerability into art that resonates deeply.

Antonia Desplat on Modi, Working With Johnny Depp and Al Pacino, And Her Creative Journey

In this episode of The UNTITLED Podcast, host Indira Cesarine sits down with French actress Antonia Desplat, who stars as feminist writer and poet Beatrice Hastings in Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness — Johnny Depp’s first directorial project in two decades, co-starring Hollywood legend Al Pacino. The film, which premiered at the San Sebastián Film Festival, portrays three tempestuous days in the life of painter Amedeo Modigliani and the vibrant, chaotic Parisian art scene of the early 20th century. Antonia opens up about stepping into the shoes of Beatrice Hastings — a brilliant yet often overlooked feminist voice who was both Modigliani’s muse and intellectual equal — and reflects on the responsibility of reclaiming women whose stories have been erased from history. She shares her experience working under Johnny Depp’s direction, filming on location in Budapest, and the privilege of developing a personal friendship with Al Pacino, whose legendary career continues to inspire her as an actress. Beyond Modi, the conversation traces Antonia’s creative journey: her Parisian upbringing as the daughter of Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat, her formative training in London, and her diverse screen credits spanning two Wes Anderson films, acclaimed BBC dramas, Apple TV’s Shantaram, and Netflix’s The Sandman. She also discusses her upcoming projects across Europe and the U.S., and her growing work as a producer championing independent cinema. From breaking into international film to reclaiming forgotten women’s voices, Antonia offers a candid and inspiring look at her craft, her ambitions, and the evolving landscape of storytelling today.

Rose McGowan: Unmasked, Unfiltered, Unforgettable

In this special episode of The Untitled Podcast, host Indira Cesarine is joined by a guest who truly embodies the spirit of the series: actress, author, artist, and revolutionary force Rosa—formerly known to the world as Rose McGowan. Before she became a lightning rod for cultural awakening, Rosa built a formidable career in Hollywood. She first broke onto the scene with fierce, genre-defining performances in The Doom Generation, Wes Craven’s Scream, Jawbreaker, and Devil in the Flesh, and later became a household name as Paige Matthews on the cult-hit series Charmed. Known for her magnetic screen presence and fearless approach to storytelling, Rosa cultivated a persona that radiated defiance and mystique—but rarely on her own terms. In 2018, with the release of her searing memoir BRAVE and her raw docuseries Citizen Rose, she emerged not just as a survivor of Hollywood abuse but as a catalyst for global reckoning. Named one of TIME Magazine’s “Silence Breakers” for her pivotal role in the #MeToo movement, Rosa reclaimed the narrative around power, trauma, and survival. In our in-depth conversation, she opens up about her extraordinary path—from growing up in a cult and navigating the misogyny of the entertainment industry, to walking away from fame and building a life of radical self-expression as a multidisciplinary artist living in Mexico. She shares how solitude, nature, and creative freedom have become central to her healing, and offers a powerful reflection on what it meant to her to reclaim her name, her voice, and her story. We also explore her most recent work featured in UPRISE 2025: The Art of Resistance, the 10th-anniversary exhibition at The Untitled Space, and her feature in The Untitled Magazine’s inaugural ART EDITION. Rosa first debuted her artwork with the gallery in the groundbreaking 2017 show UPRISE/ANGRY WOMEN, curated by Cesarine as a rallying cry for women’s voices in art and activism. She co-hosted a landmark panel discussion, “Art and Activism,” during the internationally celebrated exhibition that ignited vital dialogue around gender, power, and creative resistance—an early spark in a growing cultural revolution. From the trauma of childhood erasure to the myth-making of Hollywood, from battling boa constrictors in the jungle to building a new artistic identity on her own terms—this is Rosa: unmasked, unfiltered, and truly unforgettable. Original Music "Green Gold" by Rose McGowan, from her album "Planet 9"
