Athena Art Foundation
Athena Asks is an art history podcast series. In each new episode, a host from Athena Art Foundation speaks exclusively with a different art historian, curator or artist about a current exhibition or project. Their conversation takes a deep dive into the core ideas, motivations, development and execution of the exhibition, and locates it in the wider cultural conversations and questions.
