“CENSORED” features 20 provocative photos from Kimberly Butler’s forthcoming book of the same name.
The photos Butler chose for this unique exhibition illustrate that “banning books silences stories” – the theme of this year’s “Banned Books Week” event – and that everyone needs to speak out against censorship.
Butler’s “CENSORED” photos are “a personification of books that have all been banned at one time or another,” she explains, “with quotes from the books emblazoned across each person’s body.”
She decided that an exhibition like “CENSORED,” a thought-provoking reminder of the dangers of censoring or banning books, is timely and relevant now more than ever given the recent attacks by
President Donald J. Trump on journalists, media organizations, and the First Amendment.
