Episode 35: The Love Affair of Storytelling
Welcome to the end of Spooky Season, and we hope that we move into November with safety and security. And, most importantly, we hope you can move into the holidays holding onto the stories we find comfort in. This week’s guest—the one and only T.H Ponders from Accession fame—brings us to the fireplace, and teaches us about the Ekphrastic tradition: where art tells a story, and that story becomes art.
Find out why it matters that we tell stories about art; ponder with Ponders about the history of Ekphrasis; enjoy the debut of our new Inception podcast within the podcast; and cry about the days we used to be able to go to international art museums and stand for long periods of time in front of art without a care in the world.
For those eligible, vote November 3rd. Things have changed, but we're changing with it.
