Program Description

Event Details

In honor of Banned Books Week, we're inviting you to participate in a unique creative experience that combines the power of expression with the resilience of banned books. Join us for a transformative journey into the world of literature as we celebrate the freedom to read through the art of blackout poetry. 

Using book pages from previously banned books we will create a unique poem by blacking out most of the words on the page.
