Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Detail of "Madonna and Child (Madonna col Bambino)," by Sandro Botticelli (Alessandro Filipepi), 1480–81, tempera and oil on wood panel. Also called "Madonna of the Book (Madonna del Libro)."
Created in 1987, the National Museum of Women in the Arts recognizes and shares the contributions women – of all eras and places – have made to the art world. They mark their 25th year with receipt of a prestigious international award and an exhibit on the Virgin Mary that has sparked some controversy. We talk with museum director Susan Fisher Sterling about how the organization’s mission has – and hasn’t – changed since its inception.
