Ep 02 - Dr Eva Frojmovic

In the podcast episode, Dr. Eva Frojmovic discusses her transition from traditional art history to a more interdisciplinary approach that incorporates digital resources. She reflects on how digitisation has opened new possibilities for research and education, making art more accessible and allowing for in-depth study without geographical constraints. The conversation also touches on the challenges of ensuring that the digital experience can match the depth of physical interactions with art.

They explore the concept of the 'gendered gaze' in art history and the importance of critical engagement with cultural artifacts. They discuss the need for a shift in the way art is interpreted, moving away from traditional narratives, and embracing a more inclusive approach that considers race, gender, and class. The dialogue emphasises the evolving role of the viewer in the interpretation of art and the transformative impact of digital tools on both scholarly research and public engagement with art history.
