‘ESCAPE ARTISTS’ POSTMISTRESS PRESS ANTHOLOGY NEWS
By Ruth Skilbeck, Editor
One of the 'Escape Artists' contributors, Christen Clifford,
lecturer at the New School in New York, feminist artist and mother of two, has
been banned from Facebook for her posts on her fight against cancer, and her posts
blocked, some of which, with her permission, we were going to publish in the ‘Escape
Artists’ PostMistress Press Anthology. We had not yet obtained Christen’s posts
and when we were about to, found that she had been banned and her posts are now
inaccessible.
Just as we are about to launch our
crowdfunding project, Christen Clifford’s posts have been censored, due to her
courageous and candid #fuckcancer diary with images, photos and her thoughts,
and her brave performance art on her recent diagnosis of cancer, hysterectomy and
removal of ovary and her chemo, which she is documenting for her
friends, readers and followers.
Melbourne-based artist Elizabeth Gertsakis
who is writing her PhD and making digital art prints on Outrage, Obscenity and Madness (sex, vile gossip, art and illustration) “the tight pictorial censorship laws still in place today covering images
and censorship in the state of Victoria” will now be in
the anthology instead. Two of Elizabeth’s prints have just been acquired by the National Gallery of Australia. If Christen is allowed to return to facebook
and her posts are released, with permission, we will publish them, in this
issue if time allows or in the next one.
