As the Chief Artistic Officer at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Shanta Thake is breaking down barriers—both literal and figurative—to create a more inclusive cultural landscape. From transforming New York’s grandest plazas into welcoming dance floors to grappling with the complex history of San Juan Hill, she views the arts as an essential civic infrastructure. In this episode, we explore her journey from a theater intern to leading one of the world's most prestigious arts institutions, the intersection of technology and human creation, and why gathering together remains our most vital technology for the future.
