Ep 13: Can you separate art from artist? | Shephali Bhatt on the ethics of consuming and celebrating art

Description

Shephali Bhatt argues that we cannot, and should not, separate art from the artist. To her, art is not created in a vacuum. It is an extension of the artist.

But should art always be judged by its creator’s character? Can something deeply moving still be pure, even if its creator is not? And does this enrich or corrupt our appreciation of art?

Shefali is an award-winning journalist with an expansive career spanning The Economic Times, Mint, The Times of India, and Hindustan Times. Her work explores culture, media, identity, and ethics.
