Not Art Historians

Mapplethorpe: Photographer & Provocateur

Listen Later

Join Zak and Lianne as they explore the life of controversial photographer Robert Mapplethorpe ft. a pet monkey named Scratch, his first love Patti Smith, and a meteoric rise to fame for his black and white photographs (despite not knowing how to process film!). We’ll also cover how activist groups are waging war in museums to fight for climate change.
