Taboo. A phenomenon, event or happening that is unutterable and forbidden within a given community, exploring the concept of taboo has been made possible by its inherent ambivalence. How serious are artists in their exploration of topics that are considered taboo? 

Or to what extent do they choose to ignore them? Is it really difficult to know where the line is? Should we be expecting indifference, understanding or a scandal? The visual representation of taboo has been present within art since its beginning.

Tabooscript explores the spiritual thinking and rituals of indigenous peoples, as well as the phenomena related to human curiosity which are prohibited by the Bible.
