ArtRage and Light Work will host an emergency screening of David Wojnarowicz’s video “A Fire in My Belly,” which was recently censored from the exhibition “Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture” at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
Following a screening of the 13-minute video, art historian and critic Nancy Keefe Rhodes and Jeffrey Hoone, CMAC executive director, will be in conversation about the work, its censorship, and possible long-term implications for arts institutions.
Organized as a public response to a challenge on artistic and institutional autonomy, this event seeks to reinstate a dialog that congressional and religious conservatives have attempted to stifle. ArtRage and Light Work join New York gallery PPOW and a host of other arts institutions around the country in a series of screenings that protest this censorship.
