How to beat the January blues
Lift your spirits with these 5 cultural pickings
Hello from A RABBIT’S FOOT!
It’s January, a time of year when spirits can be low. So on this – let’s face it, quite miserable – Monday, we’ve rounded up 5 cultural pickings and resources to bring some metaphorical sunshine to your week.

Tickle me pink
The new year is about looking forward, but it’s just as important to consider what you might have missed from 2023. If you didn’t make it to Philip Guston’s retrospective at the Tate Modern in London, then you have until 25th February to experience this remarkable show. Guston’s radical politics inspired his inventive painting – at once nightmarish and dreamlike. His use of colour, namely reds, pinks and blues, provide a much needed dopamine hit. We’d also recommend a trip to the Nicole Eisenman exhibition ‘What Happened’ at the Whitechapel Gallery, before it closes this weekend.
Screen time
Whilst 2023 was a bumper year for cinema, 2024 is promising to be just as brilliant. From Yorgos Lanthimos’s much acclaimed ‘Poor Things’ and Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Challengers,’ the team at A RABBIT’S FOOT have rounded up the next 12 months of movies for you to add to your diaries.
Dashing through the snow
There’s always a certain allure to alpine style. And no one does it better than Robert Redford in his role as David Chappellet in the 1969 film Downhill Racer. “If you’ve seen a photo of Redford on a menswear moodboard… it’s probably from Downhill Racer,” writes Finlay Renwick. “There’s the shearling coat, which could be straight out of a RRL lookbook, worn with preppy abandon alongside a grey sweater and sky blue chambray shirt, or over the top of roll necks and ski thermals.”
New leaf
Finding the right book to start the year is of the utmost importance. Currently on our radar is Think You’ll Be Happy: Moving Through Grief With Grit, Grace, and Gratitude by Nicole Avant. A hopeful memoir tracking the emotional aftermath of a mother’s death, the film producer and former U.S. Ambassador to the Bahamas explores how we learn to live, and even grow with grief.
