‘Storm in a Teacup’ is an intimate story of renowned Australian Artist Leon Pericles, as he embarks on his biggest challenge yet, a 50 Year retrospective of a lifetime of artworks, at a time when he has the least support. Until 2009 Leon’s wife Moira managed the business side of his work, distributing works to galleries and collectors around the nation, managing a team of art staff, a framing business and various curatorial roles, but most importantly she was Leon’s creative council and emotional backbone. They were the ultimate team, partners in life and art and the phrase ‘behind every great man is a great woman’ could not be more fitting. However over the last ten years Moira has faced increasing mental decline with Alzheimer’s disease, and Leon’s world has turned upside down at a time when he needs her most. Leon must now juggle his role as an artist, husband and career.

The brazenly racist displays of the alt-right, which exploded into the US nation’s consciousness with the violent demonstrations in Charlottesville, have coincided closely with the campaign and election of Donald Trump. In her book, ‘Kill All Normies’, author Angela Nagle has documented the rise of this racist, misogynistic movement, and the lefts role in provoking it. What we saw play out in the streets of Charlottesville, she believes, is the culmination of a years-long battle of subcultures between a form of online left-wing puritanism and right-wing nihilism, both shaped by the system of rewards and punishments built into social media platforms. In ‘Trumpland: Kill All Normies’, Fusion teams up with Nagle to examine the social and political forces which have emboldened white nationalists in the age of Trump, in this follow-up to the emmy-nominated: ‘The Naked Truth - Trumpland’.
