One of Emory University’s Center For Ethics’ aims is to bring thoughtful people together in conversation, to talk through their efforts to be conscientious with their endeavors in a creative discipline.
Beyond giving honest credits, how does one acknowledge, even honor the artists and cultural traditions that any artist inevitably relies upon in generating their own work? David Harrington of Kronos Quartet and John Fenn of American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, discuss “The Ethics of Inspiration: Honoring Ancestors and Influences.”
This event arose from the thought that “appropriation” is a term used to mark a failure of appropriately acknowledging one’s creative sources, where “appropriate” might involve showing respect for, being generous with, even honoring the source, whether a person or a tradition. This moderated conversation is free to attend.
Thursday, January 23. 7-8 p.m. Emory University’s Rita Anne Rollins Bldg., 1531 Dickey Drive, Room 252. Click here to RSVP.
