Steve Bliss is serious about the value art can bring to a fractured society, yet he recognizes that elements of art can also be used to manipulate a culture. Bliss believes there is a truth that can be approached through photography, despite its proclivity to nostalgia—capturing a romanticized or idealized feeling of the past—and he appreciates the turn photography has taken toward awakening a sense beyond nostalgia.
Bliss is frank, funny, and unpretentiously intelligent in the stories he tells of his art and art in general. Join us for this enlivening discussion.

Artists Telling Stories Podcasts feature the stories of artists and the art of stories. We seek the personal stories of artists—their journeys—and the impact of their art on their own well-being and on those who encounter their work.
As the language of humanity, art tells stories of inspiration, hope, and healing even as it acknowledges the hurt and despair that afflicts us all.
Hosts Edward Dupuy and Gene Beyt draw out our human stories in the hope that in their telling, artists will offer a new story of humanity for you, the listener.
