We opened asking if it's possible.
Now we ask: to what extent?

Today, we discuss a topic often wrongly credited to Barthes’ ‘Death of the Author,’ which was about meaning, not morality. We're asking: can a creative's work be separated from their flaws and misconduct?🧵⬇️

Liking the art and funding the person who made it aren't the same act. The question was never whether you're allowed to like the work — it's what you do once you know who made it.

[NASS Literary and Debating Society @NASSAvantGarde]

Now moving on, if the work holds up on its own, that was never the issue. The problem sits in what comes after: platforming the creator because the work is good, letting the art quietly launder the record.

Four centuries later, his work is still undisputed: the realism, the detail in every brushstroke, none of it in question.

A wanted criminal was also, indisputably, an excellent painter. His crime didn't put a dent in his canvases.

Taking a well documented case for example, instead of a hypothetical:

In 1606, famous Italian painter, Caravaggio killed a man in Rome, was sentenced to death, and lived the remaining 4 years of his life as a fugitive.

Levi, a chemist and writer, watched science and literature split into separate worlds. He named the gap in ‘Other People's Trades’; one that's still open today.
This society exists to close it.

@Ubaydah462892 congratulations.

Opening NASS week with a spectacle, experience the grand finale of the fierce inter-departmental debate and public speaking competition.

Watch the speakers mount the podium, hear them make irresistible cases you can't help but ponder even after they step down.

Yesterday was Children’s Day… yet many children cannot play,
For some are lost in forests far away.
While others hold balloons and laugh with cheer,
Some innocent hearts are trapped in fear.

No child deserves a Children’s Day alone,
Crying in darkness, longing for home.

Is AI expanding the frontiers of human innovation, or are we slowly allowing it to weaken the very minds that created it?

Join us at the INNOVITA’26 symposium, as we confront one of the defining question.

June 2nd, Be there & stay obsessed with us. ✨

[The Literary and Debating Society FUNAAB @funaabtlds]

The Gallant OOU goes head-to-head against the mighty “Oba Awon University.”

Are they truly king… or just living off the hype?

When the dust settles, who will dominate the battlefield?✊

Don’t miss the showdown.🔥

The fingers of Adam and God never meet—after everything. God reaches, and Adam... doesn't quite bother.

[NASS Literary and Debating Society @NASSAvantGarde]

God did not just give Adam life, He gave him a brain; what is life without the ability of thought?

Renaissance Art of the Week: The Creation of Adam.
— Michelangelo, 1512.🧵

[NASS Literary and Debating Society @NASSAvantGarde]

Notably, Adam already appears conscious and alert; life, it seems, precedes the touch.
