A Fire in My Belly is a video work created by artist David Wojnarowicz in 1986-87. The work was the subject of a controversy in early 2011 when Smithsonian Secretary Clough ordered the removal of the work from the exhibition "Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture" at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. after complaints by the Catholic League stirred congressional threats of budget cuts to the Smithsonian.
