The Subversive Imagination by Carol Becker
In The Subversive Imagination , professional writers, artists and cultural critics from around the world offer their views on the issue of the artist's responsibility to society. The contributors look beyond censorship and free speech issues and instead emphasize the subject of freedom. More specifically, the contributors question the ethical, mutual responsibilities between artists and the societies in which they live. The original essays address an eclectic range of subjects: censorship, multiculturalism, the transition from communism to capitalism in Eastern Europe, postmodernism, Salman Rushdie, and young black filmmakers' responsibility to the black community."As a provocative group of essays, this anthology is a useful first step in creating what, one hopes, will be a continuing dialogue on art, society, and responsibility" -- The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism
Carol Becker is the owner of William Greenberg Desserts, a famed New York City institution. Since taking over a decade ago, Becker has ushered the beloved Madison Avenue destination into a new era while respecting its heritage and deepening community ties through philanthropy. Becker started baking for fun while working as a marketing executive at a spirits importer, wowing friends with fresh loaves of Challah. She attended the Institute of Culinary Education in 2001 and previously ran her own baking business, Bread & Batter. Becker has fond memories of William Greenberg Desserts from her childhood growing up in the city--she knows it is not just a bakery, but also an integral part of the community. Carol Becker resides in New York City.
