The panel that Olimpia Dior sends her dispatch from is part of an exhibition that is co-curated by Marina Garcia-Vasquez of VICE’s Creator’s Project and Lissa Rivera of the Museum of Sex, which also hosts the exhibit. The exhibition draws its female artists from a variety of platforms, from Instagram to embroidery with the common thread being that the artworks present the female perspective.

The panel included the above-mentioned artists and focused on the challenges of creating art under the specter of censorship. This seems a particularly pertinent problem given that platforms like Instagram are corporately owned and censorship is thus corporately imposed in an anonymous way. The five artists all presented unique takes on the issue. Both this conversation and the exhibition itself are highly recommended.

While the panel was associated with the exhibition at the Museum of Sex, the panel discussion itself took place at the Vice headquarters. Olimpia Dior was there to document it.
