Shepard Fairey “Banned in Boston”

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Wikipedia states that “Banned in Boston” was a phrase employed from the late 19th century through Prohibition to describe a literary work, motion picture, or play prohibited from distribution or exhibition in Boston, Massachusetts. During this period, Boston officials had wide authority to ban works featuring “objectionable” content, and often banned works with sexual or foul language.

Apparently Shepard Fairey’s street art is the latest addition to the Boston “Banned Wagon”. It’s a shame that an extremely vocal minority will keep great public art out of an entire city. Wouldn’t “Banned in Boston” be a great poster theme? Hmmmm….
