Gripping and Awakening
I loved this podcast and devoured it. I was an art history major in college and worked in museums for a little bit after that, and while I know of Ana Mendieta’s work I knew nothing of her death. And that strange silence around her death is kind of the whole point of this podcast. Helen Molesworth is a reflective and knowledgeable host and the whole thing is fascinating. You definitely don’t have to know about the art world to engage in this story, because at its heart it’s really about being a woman in the world we all live in. My only suggestion is a spin-off podcast about the Guerilla Girls!!!
