Banned & Recovered: Artists Respond to Censorship
More than 60 artists interpret banned or challenged books in their chosen medium in response to the suppression of literary art.
Curator Hanna Regev has assembled more than 60 artists, each interpreting a banned book of their choice. “Collectively," says Regev, "the work initiates an important undertaking—the recovery of fragments of our censored history. We felt that the pairing of visual and graphic artists with these banned and threatened books was a natural one. After all, what better group to interpret suppressed works than visual artists who are already so attuned to the threat of censorship. The show is a powerful reminder of the fragility of our freedoms, many of which are being chipped away by the Patriot Act. It is a powerful testament to the irrepressible creative spirit.”

BANNED BOOKS OUT LOUD
Banned Books Out Loud will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3: 15 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30
in the University Bookstore. All members of the community are invited to attend
Banned Books Out Loud and take turns reading from their favorite Banned Books.
The event is held in conjunction with national Banned Books Week. The
purpose of Banned Books Week is to celebrate the freedom to express
one's opinion, even when it is unpopular, and stress the importance of
ensuring the availability of those viewpoints to all who wish to read
them.
Banned Books Out Loud is sponsored by the American Democracy Project,
Center for Public Service and Community Engagement, Office of Student
Activities and Organizations, and Office of General Education. For more
information contact 237-2334.

Imagine if we never knew about Watergate? Or The Pentagon Papers? Or the Iran-Contra “arms for hostages” deal? Or the Abu Ghraib prison abuses scandal? Just imagine the stories that would have gone unreported were it not for journalists’ confidential sources.
New Jersey Attorney Bruce Rosen and reporter Tim Nostrand of The Record will lead a discussion on “The Reporter’s Privilege: Protecting the Sources of Our News” which examines the chilling effect the suppression of the flow of information would have on our lives.
The program will be from 7:30-8:30 PM.

This exhibit is open to the public.

Performances run one hour followed by a dialogue with a partnering activist organization. Showtimes are at 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, and 7pm each day, with a reception following the 7pm premier performances. Single-Performance tickets are $20; Single-Day tickets are $55; Full-Festival Passes are $100. Educators attend for free (limited availability).
