At the crossroads of artistic insight and intellectual curiosity we find the Edge of Reason, a new limited podcast from Hauser & Wirth and Atlantic Re:think, the branded content studio at The Atlantic. Tune in as we feature six groundbreaking contemporary artists discussing the centuries-old Enlightenment principles that influence their work.

Liberty: A principle emphasizing freedom, autonomy, and the inherent rights of individuals.<br />
<br />
In this episode, artist Lorna Simpson and poet and scholar Dr. Elizabeth Alexander question the nature of individual rights, autonomy, and separate the idea of &quot;liberty&quot; from &quot;freedom&quot; via Simpson&#039;s evocative representations of race, gender, and identity and Alexander&#039;s celebrated poetic insights.
