A photography exhibit in New York that includes a work depicting Jesus as a naked woman is stirring debate at the same museum where a dung-decorated painting of the Virgin Mary sparked a heated six-month legal battle. The work, "Yo Mama's Last Supper," features the photographer, Renee Cox; nude and surrounded by 12 black apostles. It is part of an exhibit of 94 contemporary black photographers at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. A panel discussed the issue Feb. 20 at the First Amendment Center/New York. Panelists:
- Renee Cox, artist, "Yo Mama's Last Supper"
- William A. Donohue, Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights
- Moderator: Ken Paulson, First Amendment Center
