Iconography
How do we understand the places we visit (and even the places we’ve never been)? As a shorthand, we use agreed-upon touchstones – famous places, famous people famous foods, and, of course, dreams. Dreamed-up people and dreamed-up places and dreamed-up things. This podcast looks at a culture’s icons – real and imagined – to see what they say about the culture itself, as well as the outsiders who’ve elevated those icons above all others.
