In this episode of Art And..., the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum's student-run podcast, join Student Guide and Curatorial Intern Mollie Wohlforth '19 as she and fellow Student Guide Anya Nandkeolyar '19 discuss a 10th-century statue of Dancing Ganesha from Madhya Pradesh. Listen as they discuss the experience of seeing the sculpture within its original context versus within a 21st-century gallery space, and the debate surrounding the placement of non-western religious objects within western museum contexts.
