Art Freedom of Art feat. Lawrence Ferlinghetti

  • Freedom_of_art_large

It's easy to convince ourselves that the worst of American censorship is behind us. YBCA tries to disabuse us of that notion, however, with a special presentation of a set of Lawrence Ferlinghetti's thick-stroked paintings, recently removed from an office building because they were deemed inappropriate. Beat poet and City Lights founder Ferlinghetti has a lifetime's experience combating such closed-mindedness; YBCA celebrates this tradition with a reading of Allen Ginsberg's famously ostracized epic Howl.
