Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we delve into how art reflects and shapes identity through gender, nationality, and ethnicity. From the male gaze in classical works to Louise Bourgeois’ feminist sculptures and Cindy Sherman’s subversive self-portraits, we explore the shifting portrayals of power, beauty, and cultural belonging. With examples like Mary Cassatt’s independent women and the Guerrilla Girls’ bold activism, we reveal how artists challenge traditional norms. Join us as we uncover art’s profound role in questioning stereotypes and amplifying diverse voices.
