  • Summary

  • Censorship in the arts has been rampant across our galleries, theaters, airwaves and screens. As the genocide devastates across Palestine in its seventh month, we witness sites of art-making cower away from speaking out and silencing artists who do. In this tumultuous and heartbreaking climate - how do we understand the role of the artist? Hear from artists Lux Æterna, Alissar Chidiac and Nicole Barakat unpacking this, creating an intergenerational chat on the need for artists to be vigilant witnesses and creative resistors.

    They’re part of an exhibition at The Cross Art Projects, Potts Point Forms of Censorship - gathering artists across forms and identity to query the culture of self-censorship on now, and has been extended until until June 15th 2024.
