Description of Artwork: Book Bohemian Taboo Stories - About People Who Do Something Sexy is a book aiming to contribute to destigmatisation of taboo eroticism or human sexuality as well as to discourse on true moral values in a society where eroticism and sex usually appear as another issue, instead of dealing with the true problems. The book is a collection of twenty interesting stories of people who found the courage to get to know themselves as well as their bodies and their true erotic needs and, in their profession or leisure time, chose a direction which eroticism and sex is, in one way or another, reflected, whether directly.

To be found in the Bohemian Taboo Stories book, are stories of people from the most varied spheres. From scientists working for the Laboratory of evolution sexology and psychopathology within the National Institute of Mental Health, historians, actors, artists, performers, writers, psychologists, photographers, sexual assistants to organisers of fetish events and many other.

It is also accompanied with illustrations and photographs and, in respect of content as well as graphic design. At the same time, the publishing of the book expected to be accompanied by discussions and pop-up exhibitions.

The aim of the Bohemian Taboo company is to open discussions about those topics, teach public about erotic art, help to create better education programme and help individuals who are feeling frustrated by society.

The Incident: After publishing illustrations and photographs from the book during our crowdfunding campaign for the issuing the book, some of the posts were banned and deleted. Then the Facebook page made invisible for public. After sending request for the review and discussion with some Facebook content admin, when we sent explanation about the book, the social, art and education meaning of the book and our posts, the content admin promised to review our request, the page has been deleted instead. We'v lost contact with all fans and all crowdfunding contributors. Then we had to create new Facebook page.

Results of Incident: Several free and paid posts bans, Facebook page deleted finally.

What is Censorpedia?

Censorpedia is a crowdsourced online database of censorship cases within the arts and in culture. It is aimed at those researching censorship, at activists working for freedom of expression and at artists and other cultural producers whose expression has been subject to censorship or attempted censorship.

Censorpedia documents censorship incidents by providing the who, what, when, where and why. By providing a repository of information about what is vulnerable to censorship and about the strategies and tactics that have defeated previous’ censorship attempts, Censorpedia aids the fight for free expression.

Researchers can search for a specific case, year or keyword using the search box, as well as browse by medium, by grounds for censorship, or explore a random case.

Activists can search for ongoing cases or contribute a case that is ongoing or recently resolved.

Artists and cultural producers are similarly invited to add cases they are directly involved with or are familiar with first hand.

Censorpedia builds on the landmark 1994 art project The File Room, initiated by Muntadas.
