24. Transcestors, A Look at Art Beyond the Binary (Live from the DMA)

Leigh and Gretchen are back from hiatus with an extra special
episode! Recorded live at the Dallas Museum of Art on June 21st
as part of the museum’s Pride events, your friendly neighborhood
queer history nerds sat down to chat about gender diversity in
art and mythology. Come take a tour through Mesopotamian, Hindu,
and Norse mythology, then dive into two modern artists who
questioned and transcended gender norms in their lives and art:
Anton Prinner and Frida Kahlo. So pull up a chair and hang out
with a couple of gayvenclaws to, retroactively, celebrate pride
and art beyond the binary!
