Happy 2020! It's been a while. We kick off this year with a discussion of whether or not art and culture can ever be risky or even dangerous?!
Reflecting on an article on the BBC's Front Row website about the riskiest art of the 21st century I discuss some of the work that made it onto the list whilst also discussing whether such a list is pretentious.
There are a few things mentioned that might be of interest, but the main one is the aforementioned article...
There are also references to Drill music and the debate over how dangerous the perception of it is amongst the authorities. There is also the curious case of the Riot of the Rite of Spring and the boycott's of Stewart Lee's hilariously satirical Jerry Springer the Opera.
