Breaking the Frame Podcast Launch
We are excited to announce the launch of the Breaking the Frame podcast hosted by Emily C. Casey and R. Ruthie Dibble. It is a podcast featuring interviews that explore how museums and the people who work in them shape American history and culture — past and present. The show was created by a collaboration of the hosts, the interviewees, production assistant Katherine White, and the graduate students of Dr. Casey’s Spring 2024 HA 706/906 Seminar in American Art: American Museums: Race, Class, Labor at the University of Kansas.
The first season begins with a discussion of five major moments in the history of exhibiting American art. The following episodes focus on interviews with curators in the realm of American art, widely defined. The first two episodes are available now, with a new episode releasing every Monday afternoon until the season is complete.
