Why the Greeks are right to stop the censorship of ancient nudes statues in an Olympic exhibition in Doha, Qatar.
Nudity is an all or nothing kind of thing, as Qatari authorities recently
discovered. Seek to drape the naughty bits of a pair of ancient sculptures
of nude male athletes, and you end up with no nudes at all.
This is precisely what happened at Alriwaq Doha exhibition space. Having
loaned the gallery the two sculptures for its Olympics Past and Present exhibition,
Athens preferred to see them returned than exhibited with their modesty
veiled.
