S1 Ep4: Shaping Cultural Narratives

Written By Sophia Ma

Welcome to the Heritage Meets Modernity Podcast where we explore how art, literature, and craft intersect with culture and contemporary life. Join us as we explore topics related to art and its history, and how it relates to our current society. 

In this episode, we discuss how museums and galleries influence cultural narratives and serve as important platforms for different interpretations of historical and contemporary art.
