On Censorship in the Arts in the UK
Censorship in the arts in Great Britain tends to be done covertly. It is a largely a matter of worthwhile projects not getting funded, rather than existing programmes being defunded. In most cases, worthwhile projects and organisations have already been heavily subverted for years - with the collaboration of the Ministry of Culture, the Arts Council and the Museums Association. As the canon is decimated and money diverted into diversity, inclusion and equity, important art goes neglected. We have now reached a stage where artists are abandoning public arts bodies and are going independent. I will explain the situation and possible solutions to the crisis in the arts.
