Applause
 
 
 
On this episode of Applause we look back at one of the most controversial figures in U.S. history who drew attention to the issue of slavery, abolitionist John Brown, who spent much of his life in Hudson, Ohio (exhibits are at the Akron Art Museum, Hudson Library & Historical Society, online at Oberlin College and the Summit County Historical Society. And we see how a group of Israeli artists are coming to grips with the complex issues facing their homeland in the exhibit Hugging and Wrestling: Contemporary Israeli Photography and Video. Plus we see how Micol Bayer draws on her Jewish heritage to create some amazing designs.
