Margins and Monsters with Sherry Lindquist

Published: March 17, 2022, 8:51 p.m.

Join our founder and host Sandra Hindman as she discusses the monstrous, marginalia and determining the center with Sherry Lindquist, co-author of Medieval Monsters: Terrors, Aliens, Wonders. This interview coincides with the topic of our Chicago gallery exhibition, \u201cThe Margins of Medieval Art: Questioning the Center,\u201d which is open through March 30th. What are Sandra and Sherry\u2019s favorite monsters? What determines if an image or subject is \u201ccentral\u201d to a manuscript folio or pushed to its borders? How does gender, sex, and \u201cmonsterizing\u201d play a role in creating margins that frame, subvert, or support the center? Find out on this episode of the Les Enluminures podcast.\xa0\n\xa0\nResources:\nSherry C. M.
