History Lessons for Misanthropes


Apr 6, 2021

In this episode we explore the life of avant garde artist and writer Claude Cahun (nee Lucie Schwob).  As a part of the Paris art scene in the 1920s, she used art to question established gender roles, while hanging out with the likes of Dali, Miro, Lacan, and other big names of the Paris intelligentsia. Until 1940, when she and her partner were living on Jersey, and led a two-woman resistance against the Nazi occupation.
