Season one of Helen Molesworth’s award-winning podcast, about the Cuban artist Ana Mendieta’s life and death set against the texture of the 1980s downtown New York art world. Absolutely riveting, infuriating, inspiring— just the best of this medium.

“An incredible deep dive by Helen Molesworth into the life, work, and death of Ana Mendieta, and how Carl Andre continues to be celebrated despite speculation that he was involved in her death.”
