But what is liberty? Is it possible without coercion? And why is trading liberty for security a bad…
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 t…
