Nearly 2/3 (65%) of surveyed US #art #museums "had experienced pressure not to include an artist or exhibition." They fear #censorship from #Republican officials (41%) more than from #Democratic officials (3%). They are pressured not to show art by #Palestinian or #Israeli artists, without regard to the subjects depicted. They experience both censorship and self-censorship.
