Episode 22: 52nd Street - Jazz and the Photography of William Gottlieb by Center for Oral and Public History

In Episode Twenty-two, Dr. Natalie Fousekis steps in as guest host to interview Dr. Benjamin Cawthra about his current exhibition, 52nd Street: Jazz and the Photography of William Gottlieb, held at the Great Park Gallery in Irvine through May 1, 2022. The exhibit focuses on Manhattan's 52nd Street, a hub of musical creativity in the years immediately following World War II. Dr. Cawthra talks about developing the exhibit; his experience interviewing William Gottlieb; the differences between curating exhibits with students versus on his own; and what he hopes visitors take away from the exhibit. Later, in our Out of the Archives segment, archivist Natalie Garcia presents oral history clips from William Gottlieb's interview.
