BANNED BOOKS WEEK!

September 27 – October 3

The Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library hosts our Banned Books Week celebration September 27 through October 3, 2020! Banned Books Week is the annual national celebration of the freedom to read, sponsored by the American Library Association. The week-long celebration raises awareness about censorship and freedom of expression. One highlight of our annual programming is inviting an artist, educator, or other passionate visitor to become our Activist in Residence and “live” in the museum for the entire week behind a wall of banned books. This act protests the infringement of the right to free expression. This year, we are honored to host Indianapolis resident and poet Manon Voice, who will take up the torch to educate and enthrall our visitors during this special week.

In addition to Manon, other headliners include Slaughterhouse-Five gr aphic novelist Ryan North, IUPUI Professor of Education Dr. Lasana Kazembe, and many more.
