Controversial Art Exhibit

This week I read about a New York art exhibit called "What I Be: Jews of New York". The creator, Steve Rosenfield, showcases people's insecurities, some of which people might perceive as controversial. Yeshiva University pulled out of the exhibit last minute due to some of these controversial topics involving the Orthodox community. There are a lot of issues in the Orthodox community that are never spoken about, which is showed in Yeshiva university backing out. Art is way people express themselves and the struggles they go through. I believe communities shouldn't shun a project due to parts of it being "controversial". Art is supposed to be an outlet for people to let out creative energy that they have been keeping inside. If we continue marking art as too controversial people will no longer have a way to healthily express themselves.
