Us & Them, Von Trier, MacHomer

Studio 360

Kurt Andersen and the literary scholar Azar Nafisi explore how the rest of the world sees America and its art. Fifty international artists offer their take on the U.S. at the Whitney Museum. Danish director Lars von Trier explains why he makes movies about America, even though he’s never set foot here. And the show looks back to 1893, when Czech composer Antonin Dvorak captured the sound of America.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
