Museum defends artist's drugs and creativity call
An Australian museum has defended an artist who suggested that teenagers be given marijuana to unlock their potential, describing the proposal as "brave and creative".
Leon Ewing will raise the idea of "educational marijuana" at an event focusing on challenges faced by schools in Tasmania next month at the Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart.
Ewing, a multimedia artist, said it was already known that many young people experimented with drugs and he suggested that illegal substances could "open the mind to greater creativity and lateral thought".
The curator of the event at MONA's Dark Mofo festival, Leigh Carmichael, admitted the suggestion was potentially controversial, but "we love that it's brave and creative".
