Cartoonists Decry Censorship At After Hebdo Exhibition

I liked Henri Neuendorf's article about censorship with the After Hebdo exhibit at the French embassy in Tel Aviv because of its thoroughness and light touch. Apparently one cartoon was removed and another was adorned with a sticker, and both cartoonists objected to how their work was treated. By focusing and its players -- the article absolves the French embassy of any interference -- it's largely left up to the reader how to process the altering acts themselves.

I'm against stunt work and provocation. It strikes me, however, that an exhibit about the Hebdo cartoons would logically have material that might be upsetting to someone and to scrub it of these things as opposed to just taking a pass on show it at all, that would seem to me counter what an exhibit like that might choose to do.
