    About this Episode

    Hope you all did your homework by watching Hulu's Dopesick because we are talking about the Sackler family and their relationship with the arts. More specifically Bianca takes us through a chapter of her thesis on The Dinner Party and discusses The Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art— the person who acquired the piece and the space it is permanently housed in. Stick around to listen to our thoughts on how art was used as a tool to suggest the Sackler’s status and how acts of protest took place in influential museum spaces both IRL and in the show.

    APT is back with our hot takes on the nepotism baby discussion. Sorry to burst your APT bubble, but nepo babies are nothing new. In this episode we look at nepo babies through art history and deconstruct the “self-made artist” and the “nepotism baby” together. We also recap the New York Times article, to take a deeper look at how nepotism is being critiqued, specifically within creative / high profile fields.
