    UNDOXX miniseries: Risk is Everywhere
    2026/07/24
    Miniseries DescriptionUNDOXX: Artists Untangle Censorship is a miniseries by artists for artists about censorship in the United States and around the globe. It is co-created by artists and activists Yanira Castro, zavé martohardjono, Hope Mohr, maura nguyễn donohue, and Maya Simone Z.What does censorship in the arts look like? And what are artists doing right now to fight it? We created this miniseries to shed light on the state of artistic expression now. As books are banned, paintings are taken down, residencies are canceled and institutions tell us which content is permissible, we are looking at the people and orgs who refuse to be silenced. SHOW NOTESThe first episode of Undoxx: Artists Untangle Censorship sets the scene for how censorship functions and how it is being experienced today by artists in the U.S. Guest host zavé martohardjono talks with Executive Director Lee Rowland of National Coalition Against Censorship about: how surveillance and censorship are changing our culture, risk assessment, strategic considerations in making demands of institutions, and how collective action is our most powerful tool.@_undoxx_@zavozavito@acanarytorsi@mauranguyendonohue@maya.simone.zABOUT LEE ROWLANDAs Executive Director of the National Coalition Against Censorship, Lee Rowland oversees NCAC's program work, legal and government advocacy, and public education.
