Judith Mittelberger of Frauen Museum (Women's Museum Merano) joins Ashley to discuss their work in preserving and interpreting fashion of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, especially for teenaged girls. Judith and Ashley dive deep into a recent museum workshop for teenage girls called "Can I really wear what I want?" that invited participants to discuss women's fashion as a tool for oppression and revolution by looking first-hand at historical costumes.

What does it mean to look at art with a female gaze? What is the role of women in art today, especially protest art? Join special guest Georgia Beeston, co-founder of Bosla Arts, who discusses these questions with Contemporary Art Curator Scarlett Evans.

Bosla Arts is a new platform to support and demonstrate the work of artists worldwide facing persecution and confronting oppressive forces.

In this episode, Ashley interviews Dr. Melissa Nolas about The Children’s Photography Archive, a project that collects photographs by children. They discuss the challenges of such an endeavor and the issues around children as artists, including consent and locating the objects in our cultures that are usually thought unimportant.

We talk with Melissa Nolas, Co-Director of the Children’s Photography Archive (CPA), the first archive in the world featuring the works of child photographers. Melissa shares insights on how the CPA was formed from 4,000 photographs and scaled up to produce rich multimodal stories about children’s experiences of public life.
