1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Join host Emily Withnall and producer Andrea Klunder for a preview of the upcoming 8th season of Encounter Culture. This season features diverse topics, including an interview with artist Delilah Montoya, a tour of the brand-new Ancient Life exhibition at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, a conversation about children's books with author Daniel Vandever, and a deep look inside the art of bootmaking. “It's cool to think about art in that way, you know, to create beauty from nothing. It starts as an idea and then all of a sudden you have this beautiful object that you've somehow created from that original spark of an idea in your brain.” ~Emily Withnall ENCOUNTER CULTURE EPISODES REFERENCED Look Up!
