Mini Episode No. 30...Can You Separate the Art from the Artist?

In this mini ep, Jason addresses the concept of separating art from the artist when the latter faces allegations of misconduct. Jason explores how people often respond by either dismissing or defending the artist based on their work and provides insights into the complexity of continuing to enjoy art when its creator's actions are known. He suggests a thoughtful, principled approach to how you engage with work from problematic figures. He also discusses the responsibility we as artists have. Let's have a thoughtful discourse.
