Thread: censorship in the arts

I'm doing a presentation called 'Is there a role for censorship in the arts and cultural industries in 21st century western societies?'

I was wondering if anyone had any views on this, or any examples of censorship like in art, cinema or theatre type thing that would be willing to share thoughts to help me with some research and ideas

thanks

It sounds like a very broad topic for a presentation, are you dealing with any specific issues or genres?

have you thought about talking about Camden's liscensing laws on burlesque ?

hope this helps x
