Kirk, Cairo, Barbie

Studio 360

Kurt Andersen and novelist Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni talk about dreams. We’ll lie down in Marina Abramovic’s "Dream Bed," a sculpture that lets visitors take a nap. We’ll hear about jazz musician Rahsaan Roland Kirk, who dreamt he could play three horns at once and made it a reality. And we’ll look at an American Icon that has been adored, fetishized, and mutilated: the Barbie doll.
