德州博物馆于2025年查获了Sally Mann的裸体儿童照片,引起全国对艺术审查的关注。
Texas museum seized Sally Mann's nude child photos in 2025, sparking national concern over art censorship.
摄影师萨莉·曼警告说,在她1990年代的"近亲系列" (即她孩子在自然,裸体时刻的照片) 于2025年1月从德克萨斯州博物馆被查获后,将会出现"文化战争的新时代",这是美国首次因涉嫌淫秽而被查除公共艺术品的案件.
Photographer Sally Mann has warned of a "new era of culture wars" after her 1990s Immediate Family series—images of her children in natural, nude moments—were seized from a Texas museum in January 2025, marking the first known U.S. instance of law enforcement removing public art over alleged obscenity.
虽然照片被广泛展示了30多年,没有问题,但一个保守的基督教团体将其贴上儿童色情标签,促使地方官员要求删除。
Though the photos had been widely exhibited for over 30 years without issue, a conservative Christian group labeled them child pornography, prompting local officials to demand removal.
得克萨斯州大陪审团拒绝提出指控,指纹被退回,但这一事件引起了人们对以艺术为目标的政治和社会媒体运动的警觉。
A Texas grand jury declined to file charges, and the prints were returned, but the incident raised alarms about political and social media-driven campaigns targeting art.
曼恩和专家们担心,这种行为可能会削弱艺术自由,特别是随着保守派团体越来越多地使用协调压力来挑战文化机构,这与过去的审查努力相呼应,但具有现代技术影响力。
Mann and experts express concern that such actions could chill artistic freedom, especially as conservative groups increasingly use coordinated pressure to challenge cultural institutions, echoing past censorship efforts but with modern technological reach.
