When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self.

Nicola asks him about his approach as well as about his interest in frames, the enigmatic titles of his paintings, his sculptures made of oil paint, and the Baroque in relation to his concerns about the natural world.…

1 Athena Asks - Jonquil O'Reilly talks to Timothy McCall about Renaissance fashion and male identity 22:43
In fifteenth-century Italy, men like Lionello d'Este, Marquis of Ferrara, were peacocks, strutting their stuff in scintillating brocades, armour, and jewels to attract attention both to physical beauty and to political power. In this podcast, Jonquil O'Reilly, fashion historian and Old Master specialist at Christies, talks to Timothy McCall, Associate Professor of Art History at Villanova University. In a fascinating discussion about Tim's new book, Brilliant Bodies, they present us with a totally new perspective on male fashion in Quattrocento Italy, arguing that in this culture, elaborate costume not only supported but signified authority.…

What level of responsibility do museums have to ‘represent’ particular identities or communities? This podcast is a Fitzwilliam Museum, Colnaghi Foundation and Athena Art Foundation co-production.…
