  1. here's an article about Forensic Architecture getting an exhibition pulled & a curator losing their job after the host organisation got cold feet.

      arts organisations love to say the words "uncomfortable conversations", but it's rare for them to actually support conversations that make people in power uncomfortable

        (I have some sympathy with the arts organisations - ultimately, you can only be political to the extent that your funders will allow it. and that applies to your funders, too. and usually the government is somewhere in that chain...)
