S2 E14: Kathe Kollwitz
No Ordinary Women - A podcast by Rose Stein and Lynn Pontillo - Thursdays
Listen this week as Lynn manages to call the incredible artist and activist, Kathe Kollwitz, by everything but her actual name while Rose laughs uncontrollably. Kathe's work, often characterized by its raw emotional intensity, delves into themes of poverty, injustice, and the impact of war on everyday people. Her haunting prints and sculptures convey deep empathy for the suffering of others, serving as a call to action for social change. Kathe's dedication to the pursuit of social justice and her ability to channel her experiences into art is an inspiration to us all. Her art speaks volumes about the human condition, urging us to never turn a blind eye to the struggles of those less fortunate. Let's celebrate Kathe Kollwitz's legacy by continuing to fight for a more just and compassionate world, using our voices, and our talents to make a difference.
