Celebrate fifty years since the abolishment of theatre censorship in Britain and the Hays Code in American cinema.

To commemorate these anniversaries, join cultural professionals, including Index on Censorship CEO Jodie Ginsberg, academics and artists for an exploration into the ways in which the arts have both conformed, and actively confronted censorship. You’ll discover how codes of what constitutes immoral or obscene material have shifted over time – looking at examples of film, theatre, performance, paintings, prints, and the role of museums and galleries.

This day-long event takes place at the Victoria and Albert Museum.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
