Opening this Thursday 15 September @hardacre.sarah @lindersterling included in ‘Sensitive Content’ @unitlondon until 16 October.
Sensitive Content is an international group exhibition curated by the artist @helenbeardart and art historians @alayoakinkugbe and @maria.elena.buszek The exhibition gives voice to those who have been systematically marginalised, showcasing works that have often been censored.
Censorship has been a longstanding source of contention throughout the history of art, being the most persistent form of violation to artistic freedom of expression. Museums, governments, and corporations have reserved the right to censor artworks for centuries on the grounds that these works are offensive to the public, that they upset the established status quo and systems of convention.
Today, visual art is frequently in the firing line of social media’s sensitivity filters. The exhibition seeks to uncover ways in which these restrictions are encouraging our society to regress to a sanitised art culture, but also the courageous, creative methods by which artists are pushing back.
