In EPISODE TWENTY ONE, Seeing Heimat Through a Lens, we discuss the power of photography to shape and frame sentiments and ideas about place-based national and regional identities in 1930s Austria. Art historian Dr. Elizabeth Cronin of the New York Public Library guides us back to this key moment in the construction of contemporary Austrianness that is rooted in tradition and the rural on the one hand, yet striving to be modern and urban on the other.
The episode first broadcasts on Radio Fabrik at 7:06 PM Salzburg, Austria time and 1:06 PM New York on the 4th Saturday of the month. Check us out this Saturday, July 23rd to hear our latest work. As always, you can find the podcast posted on the website at https://www.geographicalimaginations.org/episodes/.
