“Helen Molesworth’s probing exploration of the suspicious and untimely death of the artist Anna Mendieta gets at the heart of the biggest issues in art history today. With great empathy and skill, Molesworth’s journalism assesses the events and circumstances that immediately proceeded and thereafter followed from Mendieta’s death. In so doing, she acknowledges that art and artists don’t exist in privileged isolation. Rather, they intersect with and consequently impact our daily lives and shape our lived experiences. Consequently, this podcast concludes that it matters when the gatekeepers elide certain truths from our messy history as a discipline. Bravo Helen for helping to illuminate the way towards a more ethical art history.”
