Is artistic freedom meant to be complete, without boundaries, or should it be confined to a framework with applicable codes of conduct? In conversation with Osheen Siva and Rishi Majumder, we will also take this opportunity to discuss vandalism and destruction of art displayed in public spaces and the aspect of State versus audience censorship. Is one a greater concern than the other? When an artist has the freedom to express themselves, do the audience and critics have the same freedom to criticize? More Details
Rishi Majumder is a journalist and public speaker. He has worked as Senior Editor at The Big Indian Picture, Managing Editor of Vice India and Co-Producer of BalconyTV in India. He has also been Principal Correspondent at Tehelka Magazine and Copy Editor cum Correspondent at Mumbai Mirror (Times of India Group).
