Shortlisted for the Independent Podcast Awards 2023. In this episode, I talk about Naomi Klein's new book Doppelganger, which takes the reader on a journey into conspiracy culture. I consider the power of storytelling in the spread of misinformation, and I think about the work of artists who interrogate the media and who question how power circulates in our world including the great Barbara Kruger, the photographer Cassandra Zampini and the South African artist William Kentridge.
The Gallery Companion is hosted by writer and historian Dr Victoria Powell. It's a thought-provoking dive into the interesting questions and messy stuff about our lives that art explores and represents.
