UNCENSORED
Intersection of art and pornography through a queer/feminist lens

UNCENSORED presents an intersection of art and pornography through a queer/feminist lens that breaks away from the traditional dichotomy of aesthetics versus pornography and its portrayal as a solely sexually-arousing instrument. The show encourages the reevaluation of what is considered offensive or abusive and addresses diverse permutations of censorship along with their artistic and political implications.

Sexually explicit art provides a tool for social criticism, with erotic content constitutively intertwining with activist and aesthetics intentions. Feminist and queer artists fight against prevalent beauty standards, gender representation, patriarchy, objectification and censorship repressing diversity in expressions of sexuality. 

Through the curatorial frame of a second skin, artists project modern sexual behaviours, digitalisation, desire and technology whilst employing art as a form of empowerment and resistance to censorship by linking creativity with sexual practices, post-porn art with activism and queer-feminist politics with sex-positive performance art.
