Philippines closes art show mixing sacred symbols with phallic imagery
Officials shut down a Manila exhibit for combining Christian symbols with phallic objects. The June launch drew threats and hate mail, with condemnation from politicians and Roman Catholic leaders. President Aquino criticized the display as offensive to Christians. Vandalism followed, including a sculpture depicting Christ as Mickey Mouse. The Cultural Center of the Philippines closed the show after Imelda Marcos joined the denunciations.
