Museums in a Pandemic: The Scream

Season 1: Ready, Set, Wait | Episode 4—The final episode in a
three-part series, "The Scream" reveals the works in the Benton's
collection that museum staff and interns find particularly
relevant at this time, whether they were created recently or 200
years ago. In this episode listeners will hear how these works of
art speak to individual experiences of 2020, from the isolation
brought about by the pandemic to a renewed sense of urgency
related to social justice and systemic racism. Discussed in this
episode are works on paper by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch and
the Guerrilla Girls collective as well as a photograph by Henri
Cartier-Bresson and James Turrell’s Skyspace Dividing the
Light. Image checklist:
