HOW TO CATCH A KAREN begins at Pianofight where the immortal trickster witch, Baba Yaga, seems to have been expecting you. Your imagination, laughter, and occasional participation are the necessary ingredients to complete this sassy and fast-pased exorcism of “Karens”.  Join her as she whisks you to familiar worlds where progressive Karens thrive unchecked, like instagram feeds, kinky parties, immigrant households, college campuses, tech conferences, and even tear ducts themselves. This is a tour de force of shapeshifting charm as Baba Yaga makes the danger of catching progressive Karens a wildly fun recreational activity.

But what’s a ‘Karen’?

Karens are white women who weaponize their privilege to demand their own way. Learn more about why The Guardian called 2020 “The Year of Karen” here.
