Episode 21: Fragile -- Handle with Care
from The Ridiculous Hour · host The Ridiculous Hour Foundation
Fragile seems synonymous with weak, doesn't it? Like a decidedly negative attribute. But think about really good graffiti. Museum-grade graffiti. Don't you look at it sometimes and think, "who on God's green earth would put something that stunningly beautiful out there where anybody with a $5 can of spray-paint could wreck it?" Or more bluntly, "who puts fragile things like that in the path of possible humiliation?" Join our host and Ridiculous Hour Foundation founder, Kat Silverglate as she rounds a corner in Lisbon only to find one such work of art and how it led her to The Paradox of Fragility. Curious? We sure hope so!
