Episode 56 - Toppling Statues

from Talk Description to Me Hosted by Christine Malec and JJ Hunt

Toppling a statue is a powerful, emotional and symbolic act. Often celebratory, sometimes angry and vengeful, the removal of a statue -- whether by lawful means or mob rule -- is an event rife with potent and dramatic visuals. In this episode, Christine asks JJ how statues are brought down, and what it looks like when they fall. Send us a quick note! Support the show
