Arts Censorship
Do you see what I see: The impact of censorship on the arts
Do you see what I see is about the negative impacts of censorship on the arts. It primarily explores how museums, galleries, and artists are challenged by the growing amount of legislature and pressure from influential personnel. It asks viewers to think critically about art and answer if they believe certain works were censored. It also asks them to think about their own experiences with censorship by answering a comment card and placing a pin on a map showing where they have personally seen or experienced art censorship.
