Research Report: Freedom of Artistic Expression
Commissioned for the Visual Industry Guidelines Research Project (VAIGRP) in which NAVA was a Principle Investigator, this research was completed in 2001 with the aim of identifying some of the issues involved in censorship and restrictions on the freedom of expression in the visual arts in Australia. The report identifies some of the laws and policies pertinent to freedom of expression in the visual arts, articulates some of the issues and concerns, and compares some of the current Australian and international laws and debates. The report also makes some policy and legislation recommendations.
