Daisy Dixon & Juno Dawson: When Art Offends  image
Synopsis:

Prize-winning philosopher Daisy Dixon’s Depraved: The Story of Dangerous Art takes readers through some of history’s most contentious artworks. Meanwhile, bestselling author Juno Dawson knows firsthand what it’s like to be the target of censorship; her 2014 YA title, This Book is Gay, is listed as one of the most frequently banned books in the USA. Today, the pair discuss the ‘morality’ of art, and why what we choose to condemn reveals so much about us. Chaired by Sarah Manavis.
