Episode 1 - Icons Far from Home
In this episode, we look at some pieces that have been removed and displaced far from where they were created. We’ll be digging into their histories and uncovering how these pieces ended up so far away from home and how they acquired importance beyond their literal backstories. We’ll also consider the problem of their repatriation and address the question currently plaguing museums: who really owns art and how do we put the pieces back together?
Show Notes:
1. Further reading on the Bust of Nefertiti
2. Further reading on the Horses of St. Marks
3. Further reading on the Volute Krater
---
Histories Adrift examines the stories of historical objects living in places far from their origin. Each episode we discuss the untold histories of these stolen objects and the complexities of repatriating museum artifacts with scholars from diverse backgrounds. Histories Adrift is a podcast of the University of Texas at Dallas. It was produced by Dr. Nils Roemer and his HUMA 6300 class during the fall semester of 2022. The class team for this episode was: Mousaab Bellaouar, Rachel Catlett, Christopher Edwards, Angela Ford, David Kashfi, Ethan Lafond, Whitney Pisani, Greg Shows, and Shirley Yu. Our cover image was created by Angela Ford and our theme music is Objet A by Greg Shows. Special thanks to Katie Fisher for technical help.
