Before Adeeb & Shai get round to presenting their latest production, Heather (http://heather.peatix.com), they're excited to be partnering with Epigram to present this panel - Separating the Artist from the Art: A Conversation at the Huggs-Epigram Coffee Bookshop on 9th October.In the last few years, the world has had to grapple with various high-profile scandals to do with harassment, prejudice and racism, to name a few. This leads us to question: how does one separate the artist from the art if the artist is known to have done bad things? Can one simply separate the two? What leads to publishers/production companies dropping artists from projects? In what circumstances would one continue to work with disgraced artists? How do these issues affect audienceship?Challenging questions for challenging times. So, join us in a conversation, to unpack this thorny topic together.  Separating the Artist from the Art: A Conversation9th October 2019 / 7-9pmHuggs-Epigram Coffee Bookshop$10 per ticket (with light refreshments)Panellists:Edmund Wee, CEO and Publisher of Epigram BooksSebastian Sim, Singaporean author of award-winning novels Let's Give it Up for Gimme Lao and The Riot ActKaren Tan, theatre actress (Wild Rice, Pangdemonium, Checkpoint Theatre - you name it!), The Straits Times Life!
