Emarat Rizq: I believe in freedom of choice
Sudan Events: Follow-ups
In a television interview, the Syrian artist #Emarat_Rizk presented her frank point of view on one of the most controversial topics in the artistic community, which is kissing scenes in dramas. Rizk expressed her complete refusal to present kissing scenes, emphasizing her respect for herself and her family first, and stressed that nothing is called “An artistic kiss without feelings,” which extinguishes the discussion about justifying such scenes with art.
Emarat did not close the door at all to her colleagues in the artistic community who choose to participate in these scenes, explaining that she is not against them, but rather believes in freedom of choice and that every artist must follow what his conscience and principles dictate to him.
This statement highlights the ongoing debate about the standards and foundations that must govern the artistic content, especially in societies that may witness complex intersections between artistic freedom and social and cultural values. Thus, Emarat affirms her artistic and moral position with all boldness and clarity, indicating that artistic choices must reflect the values and principles of the artist.
