X - Censorship and Visual Culture

X - Censorship and Visual Culture is an exhibition held at the Nationaal Museum van de Speelkaart in 2021-2022. Through the unique prism of playing cards and their rich visual tradition, the show examines how censorship has shaped, suppressed, and transformed imagery across different eras and cultures. Visitors are invited to reflect on the power of images, the forces that seek to control them, and the creative strategies artists and makers have used to resist or circumvent restriction.
