Should We Separate Art From The Artist? - Ealing Debate

Why Are We Having This Debate

Can we seperate art from the artist? Should music of convicted felons still be supported by huge fandoms, should you turn your back on an author whose books shaped your childhood because you disagree with them politically as an adult?

This is the age old question the consumers of art have struggled to deal with for generations!

What To Expect

3v3 panel debate where our members explore the strongest arguments for a given topic.

A debate should tell the audience what they need to know and not just what the speakers think. If you feel the same way, then we want to meet you.

Debate London is the year-round series of free public debates held across London. The series is run by Debate London, a social enterprise that helps its members to advance their personal and professional development by teaching them how to debate.

All of our speakers are club members who have agreed to defend a particular perspective the audience need to hear, rather than just share their own personal opinion. After presenting the point of view assigned to them, the audience are then given the floor to cross-examine them and share their own position.

The only time we hear what the speakers really think is at the end of the debate when they tell us where they really stand and whether this changed at all while learning how to defend the perspective assigned to them.

Info: Food can be ordered up to the debate room. Several tables are reserved for those ordering food.
