Re:Voyager - Episode 3: Separating the Art from the Artist

Radi8 Radio

In this episode Maya, Veerle, David and Malene will go a step further than talking about and appreciating the arts. We ask the question: Can we separate the art from the artist?

With the #metoo movement, thousands of women in the movie and music industries have come forward and told stories of sexual assault, often committed by well-known directors, producers, actors and musicians. It then raises the question: Can we still appreciate the art created by people convicted of sexual assault?

Moreover, in this episode we discuss whether we can appreciate art that is culturally appropriated. Where do we draw the line between cultural appreciation and appropriation? With cases on Selena Gomez and Rihanna.
