We invited Cate Pasquarelli to discuss her recent project, The Museum of Embellished History—an art installation that presents a "museum show" about the fictional events of New Bantam, Connecticut. In this episode, we talk about what makes small towns a natural backdrop for disaster narratives and what blurring fact and fiction in art can tell us about the stories we want to believe in.
