Call for participants by Soft Fiction Projects
'Usually or Infrequently Indecent or Obscene'
The starting point for the project is based on a range of printed materials (feminist magazines) banned in the time period between 1967-1977, linked to the repression of sexuality in Ireland. The Censorship of Publications Act (1929, 1946, 1967) established the Censorship of Publications Board in Ireland. These laws enabled the prohibition of the sale and distribution of ‘unwholesome literature’, the censorship of books, magazines, and certain legal proceedings. What is the creative and social impact of censorship today? Who decides what is ‘unwholesome’?
Soft Fiction Projects will collaborate with a group of young people in the Galway region through a series of DIY design workshops to create a limited edition print and a digital zine.
This project is a collaboration with Youth Work Ireland.
