November 22, 2019 - Jocelyn Cullity; Sager Braudis Gallery Masters Exhibit

The history of the British in India in the mid-19th century is a shameful tale of colonial abuses, the theft of kingdoms, and mass murder. It's a true story that author Jocelyn Cullity revisits in her new work of meticulously researched historic fiction, 'The Envy of Paradise', a sequel to her book 'Amah and the Silk Winged Pigeons'. In Act One of this week's show, Diana talks to Jocelyn about this period of history and how you write about people who have been largely erased from the history books. In Act Two, Sager Braudis gallery director and curator, Hannah Reeves, stops in to talk about the 6th annual Masters Exhibit, which opens at Sager Braudis on December 6th, and what it must have been like working as a female abstract expressionist painter in the 1940's and 50's.
