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.
Given that widespread literacy was only achieved in the last century, how did ideas and information get passed down through the generations and across society for most of human history? In this episode we explore the role of art in informing and influencing society through the spread of religious teachings and scientific discoveries, and how that has changed in modern times.
