"Banned Pending Investigation" by Antonia Wright and Ruben Millares
Artists Antonia Wright and Ruben Millares, in collaboration with the Books & Books Literary Foundation, mark Banned Books Week with “Banned Pending Investigation,” a monumental wall of currently and historically banned books staged inside the Books & Books flagship in Coral Gables. Constructed over the week as a living monument to censorship and creative resistance, the installation culminates on Saturday, October 11 at 4pm, when local high school students will charge through the wall, physically breaking it down. Guests are then invited to take home a banned book, reclaiming stories that have been silenced.
