Hate to Love, Love to Hate

• Can art be separated from the people who create it?
• How do we navigate endless access to information about artists’ private lives, beliefs and bad behavior?
• Is Cancel culture helpful or effective?

Join us at Village Well Books & Coffee for a community conversation aboutgrappling with our relationship to art by artists who have hurt others, facilitated by Shifra Teitelbaum, EdD.

Join us for a community conversation about our relationship to art, music, and products created by hateful people or people who have caused harm. Reflect on the tension between our values and our taste. How do we navigate this emotionally complicated reality?

This will be an open facilitated conversation, in small and large groups, inviting people to share the ways they are grappling with these challenging dilemmas. The aim is not to define a “right answer” or an expectation that we will all agree.

Please come with an open mind, a willingness to explore, to consider uncomfortable questions and to hear different perspectives.
