Show Notes
Actor and writer Lolita Chakrabarti takes her friend, artist Sara Shamma, to the Horniman Museum & Gardens in London, where they explore a collection that’s full of surprises. As they wander the galleries and grounds, the unusual items they discover prompt conversations about their inspirations as artists, the stories we tell about the past, and memories of time spent together as friends and neighbours. And – they even make a furry friend on the Animal Walk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
