After the first year of operation, the Commonwealth is revisiting some of the best conversations from the past year. For this week's episode, Nick Castner sits down with renowned British artist Barnaby Barford. Barford uses familiar iconography to subvert the telling of ancient cautionary tales within a contemporary context. His research explores the fundamental questions driving human nature in terms of morality, conflict between good or evil, lack of happiness, and society’s incessant need for growth.This interview first aired on the Commonwealth podcast in February of 2020.
