Episode 56: Motherhood in West African Art
Oh, folks. What an episode. It took your favorite hosts 3+ attempts to actually come out with an episode this week, because we kept getting tripped up over the subject, the content, the execution... You get the picture. We really liked how today's discussion on the depiction of Motherhood in West African Art turned out, but it took us a long time to get it to here.
Join us as we yell about things we care about, derail this thought train by getting lost in the weeds on who gets to decide what is Art and what is Artifact, discuss if the sources used for today's episode were the correct sources, and watch two Art History Students with a deep passion for equity and representation struggle in real time. We need more exhibitions.
Things have changed, but we're changing with it.
