Can you ever truly separate art from the artist?

Against the backdrop of the rise of the #metoo movement, the conviction of paedophiles and the pushback against misogynists throughout history, how do we react and process art connected to an artist who was a terrible person?

This debate will challenge your thinking and moral perspectives. 

We have  a wonderful panel lined up to debate this issue. Food and light snacks available afterwoods.
