Censored: Marco Scotini curates exhibition on political censorship in Modica

At Laveronica Arte Contemporanea in Modica, curator Marco Scotini showcases 'Censored: An ongoing archive of silenced voices,' open until April 5, 2025. This exhibition zeroes in on political censorship, rather than general forms, illustrating how the rise of right-wing ideologies exacerbates limitations on freedom of expression, including restrictions on social media and access to information. Scotini contends that the emergence of new right ideologies has led to heightened censorship and public repression, often justified by ethnic (antisemitism, Islamophobia) and racial (vandalism, transphobic intolerance) narratives, rooted in the stark inequalities of modern capitalism. Featured artists include Nanni Balestrini, Luigi Nono, and many others, aiming to challenge existing power dynamics through their dissenting artworks.
