Recently, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute indefinetely suspended the exhibit of Chicago-based artist Wafaa Bilal's artwork after the release of a libelous article by an undergraduate blogger on the college Republicans website accusing the RPI arts department of being a "safe-haven for terrorism."

censored artist's show refuge. We hastily prepared an event around the opening of
the show intended to encourage dialogue in a climate of misunderstanding and fear.

The following is a short excerpt from this event which includes Wafaa's opening statement and introduction.
