An exhibition of photos that were targeted for censorship are on display at BC Space Gallery in Laguna Beach. “Banned & Barred” features the work of more than a dozen photographers, each with a brief synopsis of how their work was publicly or quietly drawn into the arena of censorship and, in many cases, barred from an exhibition, publication or prospect for financial support.
