Policing The Sacred – College Art Association Panel – Wednesday, February 9th, 12:30-2 PM

Policing The Sacred, organized by the National Coalition Against Censorship, looks at the volatile relationship between art, politics and religion. In recent decades the tensions between these issues have become intense, evident in the American culture wars of the 90s, the Danish cartoon uproar, and ongoing battles over artistic depictions of religious figures, including the recent removal of a David Wojnarowicz video from a show at the National Portrait Gallery.

Protest Against Repression in Indian-administered Kashmir

This summer Indian forces have systematically killed around 20 people on the streets of Kashmir. Most of the dead are teenagers, including Tauqeer Ahmed, a 9-year old boy. Ruthless suppression of protests against fake encounters and the spiraling cycle of death, combined with strict curfew on people’s movement, have created a humanitarian crisis in Kashmir. Many people are facing extreme shortage of food, medicine and other essential supplies. Sick and injured have been barred by armed forces from reaching hospitals and medical staffs have been beaten.
