I am going to this tomorrow! You should go too, if you can figure out a way to get to Stanford. My very brilliant friend Dorian Katz curated the event. I’m so excited to see what comes out of this discussion.

In response to the recent censorship of the exhibition “Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture” at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, Stanford University’s Department of Art and Art History and SICA invites you to a special screening of the censored film “Fire in My Belly” by David Wojnarowicz and a panel discussion on art censorship with faculty members, students and cultural leaders from the Bay Area.
