...recent months, Nitschke has become an increasingly visible - and divisive - figure in Britain despite living in Australia. In October, he provoked outrage by holding a workshop in London, attended by 50 people, on how to commit suicide. A second workshop in Bournemouth was canceled after local authorities intervened.

Less than a decade later, in Virgin and Child with Saint Catherine, Saint Dominic, and a Donor, Titian, by then in charge of his own studio, brought the Virgin...
...desire to be a teacher. There are teachers that can just strike you down... I don’t think that’s useful,” Williamson says. Inspired by a fan who asked her to write a song about abuse, Williamson regularly offers songwriting workshops, advising her students to “come from the personal, [and] aim for the universal.” She’ll be conducting a similar workshop for Berklee students. Before being contacted by Berklee, Williamson had been “filling up the well,” collecting material...
