THE BONFIRE OF LIBERTIES: CENSORSHIP OF THE HUMANITIES
EXHIBIT, 18 free-standing panels
Throughout history, censors have sought to "protect" citizens from radical ideas and provocative literature. From Santo Domingo's burning of heretical texts, to a line of fire that reaches to consume such classics as Huckleberry Finn and Romeo and Juliet, this exhibit focuses on efforts to suppress the humanities, from Plato to the present. Individual panels look at censorship of philosophy, religious studies, drama, literature, children’s literature, general history, American history, biography, and the works of minorities. Along the way you’ll see efforts to ban a dangerous book--the Bible, a dangerous writer--Shakespeare, and a dangerous character--Huck Finn. Although the exhibit details these dishonorable acts, it's really about the immortality of great ideas. The exhibit consists of panels enclosed in cases made of wood and glass. The exhibit is set up accordion-style, so that viewers walk around a wall of images. Approximate round trip shipping cost: $77.
