How to be Both

from Book Shelter · host Book Shelter

One voice seems to belong to a Renaissance-era artist named Francescho, reflecting on his training, his experiences with art, people, and even his horse, all while grappling with themes of identity, memory, and the ephemeral nature of things. The other voice belongs to a modern-day individual named George, whose narrative explores grief, family relationships, and the ways we interact with art and information in the contemporary world, sometimes drawing parallels to the themes presented in the historical passages. The overall work seems to be an exploration of how past and present, individual experience and collective understanding, are intertwined.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/How-be-Both-Ali-Smith/dp/0141025204?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=acef7cb149aed544dc74e57c5a43cf74&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
