New York Exhibition 'Don't Look Now' Features 26 Censored American Artists

In 2025, the nonprofit Art at a Time Like This launched its inaugural gallery exhibition titled 'Don't Look Now' in New York, showcasing 26 American artists confronting censorship. This exhibition underscores the challenges to artistic expression amid cuts in federal funding and self-censorship by institutions. Among the artists featured are Shepard Fairey, whose solo exhibition in Arizona was postponed in 2023 due to 'My Florist is a Dick'; Andil Gosine, whose work 'Nature's Wild' was canceled in February 2025 by the Organization of American States; and Danielle SeeWalker, who lost her Vail residency following 'G is for Genocide' (2024). The show also presents Marilyn Minter's censored 'Plush' series and Mel Chin's rejected works 'Actual Size' and 'Night Rap' (1993), addressing themes such as LGBTQ+ identity, police brutality, Indigenous rights, and Palestinian solidarity.
