Full Bleed 08

The censorship issue

This timely annual issue includes stories of censorship from the U.S. and around the world, dating from the late-nineteenth century through 2024. It also features a selection of brief yet urgent manifestos for our time, and a folio of ars poetica poetry.

ABOUT FULL BLEED

Full Bleed exists to cultivate that fertile ground where the visual and literary arts intersect. Published annually in print and online by the Maryland Institute College of Art, our journal strives to inspire, critique, and inform the pursuits of contemporary artists and writers. We do so with the belief that aesthetic experience—those intuitive stirrings, intimacies, and insights engendered by concentrated encounters with works of art and literature—is favorable to the cause of human dignity, within individual lives and within our politics.
