We Can't Separate the Art from the Artist 

By: Heather Shea, W*SS Director

This is the question we are grappling with in W*SS: Can we separate the art from the artist? 

  • Can we appreciate the Detroit Industry Mural in the Detroit Institute of Art (DIA) by Diego Rivera while at the same time condemn his dominance over and infidelity to his wife Frida Kahlo? 

  • Can we covet a pair of Yeezy’s even though Kanye is antisemitic?

  • Can we applaud the groundbreaking public coming out of lesbian icon Ellen Degeneres while also holding her accountable in 2022 for just being plain mean? 

  • Can we love the ways in which members of marginalized communities found connection, comfort and belonging in the world of Harry Potter, while also denouncing JK Rowling as a trans-exclusionary radical feminist?
