Picturing Democracy with Ross Coulter
6d ago00:53:43Tap to summarizeDemocracy is a big old word. But what does it actually mean? Or better yet, what does it look like? We get an answer to this with Ross Coulter's 'Picturing Democracy'.

That exhibition is now over but still available for viewing on www.coultercoulter.com We spoke to Ross about his experience in bringing the exhibition together and his biggest takeaways now that it's over.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
