Transformer, which yesterday hosted a screening of the David Wojnarowicz video removed from the National Portrait Gallery under conservative pressure, is sponsoring a protest march this evening. To represent censorship, participants can either tape their mouths shut with black duct tape, or print and wear one of these masks designed by artists Geoffrey Aldridge, Grant Duncan and Ed Rock. The trio has designed a David Wojnarowicz mask based on an image from the film Silence = Death that shows the artist with his lips sewn shut – imagery that also appeared in "A Fire in My Belly," the work removed by the Portrait Gallery. The artists also laced up the lips of the writer Arthur Rimbaud, who was gay, for his mask. An image of Wojnarowicz's mask is below.
