This podcast explores the myth and history of Medusa from Ancient Greece to the modern world; how she went from protective, caring goddess to horrifying evil monster! Her image has suffered a radical transformation over time because she was feared by men and couldn’t thrive in a patriarchal society. Fortunately, one more time Medusa has taken on another role; so much so that she has become the emblem of the female creative gaze. In this very special episode I've had the opportunity to talk to Luciano Garbati, the sculptor of the statue "Medusa with head", who tells me some pretty interesting facts on how his statue suddenly became a sensation and ultimately came to be associated with the #Metoo movement.
