FORBIDDEN ART: Finance of Expression
PRESSEN, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2007

Denmark was the epicenter of the infamous Mohammad cartoon jihad, where twelve cartoons of Mohammad
were published in the newspaper, Jyllands Posten in September of 2005. These cartoons triggered
mass demonstrations and riots around the world in which 125 people died. This exhibition was held
in the offices of that newspaper, making a strong statement about freedom of speech and the press.
