UNDOXX: A Series for Untangling Censorship at JACK | November 6 – 23, 2024

Curated and Organized by zavé martohardjono, Maya Simone Z., and Jamie Chan

Across three weeks, UNDOXX presented performances, films, and new media works, conversations, teach-ins, and resource-sharing events for artists seeking tools to navigate the shifting landscape of censorship in the arts. Censorship of artists in the U.S. is currently surging as a powerful force, yet it is not unprecedented. By bringing together global majority artists, queer artists, and marginalized artists who have understood its inner workings for generations, UNDOXX sparked conversation and generated resources for artists and audiences in the U.S. to understand censorship in the arts, its history, and its current evolutions. UNDOXX made space for people to learn in community and present work by censored artists as their primary intervention.
