Building an Online Exhibition for The New York Public Library
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The Banned: Censorship and the Freedom to Read online exhibition, accompanied by a curriculum guide and temporary displays of material in the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, explores censorship in the United States through four themed sections: Literature and Film, Sexual and Reproductive Freedom, Archiving Against Censorship and White Supremacy, and War, Colonialism and Protest. Each section offers a glimpse into a variety of materials in the Library's collections, curated by four co-curators who worked together to bring different parts of the project into fruition. The project opened up my eyes, as an early-career individual, to the opportunities and challenges of producing an exhibition within a large research institution like The New York Public Library.
