With Instagram now boasting 500 million monthly users, it can be hard to find the original and inspiring content amidst an abundance of latte art, food porn and feet on the beach. Trust us there is a lot of weird shit out there. So we’ve done the hard work for you and offer an antidote to the mundane and cliched. Here are 8 Instagram accounts that we love, and we hope you do too.
We interviewed this artist a while back about her controversial performance piece American Reflexxx which saw her subjected to physical and verbal transphobic abuse while walking South Carolina’s Myrtle Beach.

Molly Steele is an LA based photographer train hopping her way across America and documenting it all on Instagram. Her sun-soaked feed, with images of mountains, woodlands and winding roads explores the romantic side of life as a wayward vagrant.
The creation of LA natives Eva Sealove and Chelsea Jones, this mildly NSFW account which aims to normalize female nudity posts photos of everyday objects that look like vaginas. As the statement on their account reads, “almost nothing is not a pussy.”
American artist Kalen Holloman brilliantly uses mixed media to challenge our perceptions of fashion, gender, celebrity culture and capitalism. His unique blend of the playful, rebellious and thought-provoking has earned him almost 100,000 Instagram followers. “I like absurdity and to question capitalism,” he told us when we spoke to him back in January. “As well as the difference or non-difference between poor people and rich people.”
