Consiliul Național pentru Combaterea Discriminării (CNCD) a amendat cu cîte 5000 de lei Muzeul Municipiului București, Fundația Centrul Cultural Art Society și pe curatoarea britanică Ruth Hibbard, pentru expoziția „Nymphs & Zombies”, organizată de Art Safari în 2023. De asemenea, artistul Paul Baraka a primit din partea CNCD un avertisment pentru o instalație în care Isus e reprezentat în boxeri și poartă coarne de cerb și pentru o pictură care folosește elemente specifice icoanei cu Fecioara Maria și pruncul. Există limite ale libertății artistice sau arta e teritoriul libertății totale? Se poate simţi o majoritate discriminată? Cum se explică reacția unei instituții a statului român laic de a sancționa prin amendă și avertisment o manifestare artistică în care sînt revizitate simboluri creștine? I-am întrebat pe Cristian Iftode, conferențiar universitar doctor la Facultatea de Filosofie a Universității din București şi pe artistul Dan Pejovschi. Cristian Iftode: „Eu cred că existe nişte limite ale libertăţii artistice. E vorba despre acele tipuri de opere de artă care ar trata în bătaie de joc sau ar nega suferinţa, crimele, torturile comise împotriva unor oameni, comunităţi sau etnii. Arta s-a ocupat de cel mai traumatic fenomen al secolului XX, Holocaustul. Întrebarea este cum o faci? Dacă o operă de artă ar sugera un mesaj negaţionist sau ar lua în derîdere suferinţa evreilor, atunci cred că ar fi absolut rezonabil ca CNDC să intervină. Dar în cazul acesta e cu totul altceva.”Dan Perjovschi: „Amenda CNCD e de fapt cenzură. Eu sînt un partizan al responsabilităţii de expresie la pachet cu libertatea de expresie. Eu le-aş propune ascultătorilor să se gîndească la concertul Pussy Riot dintr-o biserică ortodoxă din Moscova, cu mult înainte ca Putin să devină inamicul public nr. 1 în Europa. Era acel concert al acelor artiste ceva blasfemios sau era un lucru pe care acuma îl celebrăm cu toţii?”  O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei Martin Un produs Radio România Cultural

Jeff Dutton, Dave Ferguson, Mike Hanford, Matt Kowalick, and Chris VanArtsdalen join Jen this week to discuss their sketch group The Birthday Boys. They chat about their approach to comedy, and take Jen through the group's history, from putting up their first sketches at a free midnight show at Upright Citizens Brigade, to working with Bob Odenkirk and now having their own TV show on IFC. They also wish Jen a happy birthday since this episode was recorded on her birthday, but that was just a weird coincidence.
