Kyrgyzstan Censored a Feminist Art Show at the National Museum of Fine Arts. Now Its Director Has Resigned – artnet News

An exhibition of feminist art at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, has been censored by the government and resulted in the departure of the institutions director.

Dubbed the first Feminnale of contemporary art, the show featured 56 artists from 22 countries. It opened November 25 and was slated to run for 17 daysa nod to the 17 women who died in a warehouse fire in Moscow in 2016, many of whom were Kyrgyzstani migrants.

But shortly after the opening, the Kyrgyzstan government removed several works from the exhibition, including a sculpture by Kazakh artist Zoya Falkova of a punching bag reconfigured as a female torso. Officials also forbid Danish artist Julie Savery from re-performing a work that involved disrobing in front of audiences.

The countrys minister of culture called the event a campaign with naked women under the flag of feminism, explaining that a special commission would be formed to review the scandalous exhibition, according to Kyrgyzstan news agency 24.kg. The minister also declared that Mira Dzhangaracheva, the director of the museum, had been relieved of her duties.

Dzhangaracheva took to Facebook to provide her side of the events. They didnt fire me, she said, adding that she resigned after receiving death threats. She alsoresponded with a letter calling out the government and the right-wing nationalist group Kyrk Choro, who she believes advocated for the shows censorship.It is a pity that it was initiated by people who never came to the museum, she wrote. Apparently someone wanted to distract attention and they did it.

The former president of Kyrgyzstan, Roza Otunbayeva, was outraged by the censorship and wrote a letter castigating the government for its response.

Stop, gentlemen! she wrote. You may have administrative power, but there is a public voice and female solidarity. The exhibition is dedicated to all the problems of women, and is dedicated to the fight against violence against women. What have you, the Ministry of Culture or the entire government, done to solve this problem?

This is violence against women, said one of the curators of the exhibition, Altyn Kapalova. This is pain. This is fear. Artists from all over the world express their feelings, but we are forbidden. As always they try to shut us up but it wont work. Art is uncensored.

Adios, America by Ann Coulter – amazon.com

Ann Says, No Mas!

Ann Coulter is back, more fearless than ever. In Adios, America! she touches the third rail in American politics, attacking the immigration issue head-on and flying in the face of La Raza, the Democrats, a media determined to cover up immigrants crimes, churches that get paid by the government for their charity, and greedy Republican businessmen and campaign consultantsall of whom are profiting handsomely from mass immigration thats tearing the country apart.

Applying her trademark biting humor to the disaster that is U.S. immigration policy, Ann Coulter proves that immigration is the most important issue facing America today. As Ann points out, if we cave to the Democrats scheme to bring in 30 million new liberal voters, we lose on everything else, too, from the economy to social issues to foreign policy to constitutionalism, to the very identity of our nation.

Immigration is the one issue where its nearly impossible to get the factsor even the other side of the argument. But Ann blows the lid off the cover-up by government, both political parties, and media alike. A sampling of the scintillating insights and revelations in Adios, America!:

On building a border wall: People who live in gated communities tell us fences dont work. On welfare: Todays immigrants arent coming here to breathe free, theyre coming to live for free. On how the media shut down the immigration debate: It can be difficult to discuss Americas immigration policies when its considered racist merely to say, We liked America the way it was.

The Democrats have always regarded immigration reform as a way to stuff the ballot boxstarting with Ted Kennedys immigration law of 1965.

The Democrats know that by changing the makeup of our population they can deliver themselves a permanent majority. Immigration amnesty will do just that overnight; continuing our current legal immigration policy will do it within ten or twenty years. Ann Coulter shows what we need to do to stop them.

If you love your country, you need to read Adios, America!
