Sensitive Content
Unit London, London

13 September — 16 October 2022
https://unitlondon.com/whats-on/112-group-exhibition-sensitive-content/

Landing at Unit London this autumn is a radical group exhibition, featuring around 20 contemporary artists who have been marginalised and whose works have been censored by social media, governments or political bodies. Among them are such celebrated name as Betty Tompkins, Pussy Riot and Renee Cox.

Curated by artist Helen Beard and art historians Alayo Akinkugbe and Maria Elena Buszek, Sensitive Content explores why provocative themes such as sex, gender, religion and the role of women’s bodies in society and art are so often censored.

In doing so, it seeks to understand the histories of censorship and create productive conversations around its existence today — and in the future. It’s gratifying that these oft marginalised voices are getting the commercial recognition they deserve.
