EWF19: The Critic Crossings: The EWF Podcast
-
- Arts
Controversy has often courted the role of the critic - sometimes personified as a miserly cynic out to destroy, rather than elucidate, enrich or enlighten. But criticism is a vital part of our creative arts ecology - both an art form in its own right, as well as space within which many practicing artists engage in meaningful discourse with their peers.
In this episode, we explore the role of the critic - both as a mode of discourse, to be engaged in with care, and as an internal force to be reckoned with - but not always dismissed.
We spoke to actor and writer Carissa Lee about the place and value of arts criticism, caring for your community in criticism, and the ways in which your own arts practice can inform and enrich your criticism.
We also spoke to writer, artist and poet Madison Griffiths about overcoming your inner critic, as well as the ways in which this inner naysayer can be useful and productive.
