Show Notes
Today we’re travelling to the fascinating world of modern art through the life of one of its most influential champions—Peggy Guggenheim.
My guest is Charlie Hall, a passionate arts educator, lecturer and guide based in London and Italy. Charlie is Director of the renowned John Hall Venice Course, established in 1965, and has spent years helping travellers, students and art lovers discover the rich cultural treasures of Italy. He has lectured for Kirker Holidays, designed courses for Christie’s Education, and presented art talks for Soho House and the Serpentine Gallery.
Charlie has a gift for making art accessible and bringing extraordinary people to life through their stories. Today, he’ll introduce us to Peggy Guggenheim—a woman who transformed the world of modern art. She once described herself by writing, “I am a museum,” and her remarkable life took her from London to wartime Paris, New York and finally Venice, where her extraordinary collection continues to inspire visitors from around the globe.

Stitching Stories 27 Today I’m talking to someone whose work has travelled far beyond the sewing room. Jenny Bowker is an internationally recognised Australian quilter, teacher and artist whose quilts have been exhibited and admired around the world. But what fascinates me about Jenny is not simply her extraordinary skill with fabric and thread. It’s the world that quilting creates around women. Quilting can look, at first glance, like a quiet domestic craft. Yet when you look more closely, it becomes something much more powerful — a way of preserving history, telling stories, expressing identity, building friendships and creating communities. And perhaps most interestingly, quilting has created an international network in which women teach one another, support one another and share stories across cultures and generations. That raises a much bigger question for me: Can something traditionally associated with women’s domestic lives actually become a powerful form of cultural expression — and even a way of challenging a male-dominated world?
