Little Libraries for Banned Books!
Donation protected
Dear Supporters,
We invite you to join us on a transformative journey that challenges the boundaries of censorship and amplifies the voices that have been unjustly silenced. Our project, "The Alchemy of Heresy: Radical Access to Censored Voices through Public Intervention," is not just about books; it's about liberating stories, promoting understanding, and empowering communities.
In December 2023, we are embarking on our first community activation at the prestigious NADA Art Fair in Miami. This endeavor marks a significant step toward our mission of providing radical access to marginalized narratives. To make this vision a reality, we need your support.
Why is This Project Vital?
Across the nation, the voices of trans children, the history of slavery in America, and crucial reproductive health stories are being stifled. In the face of censorship, our project stands tall, committed to dismantling the barriers that hinder knowledge and empathy. By establishing unique little libraries, we're not just placing books; we're planting seeds of understanding and fostering a sense of belonging.
Your Support, Our Community Activation
Funding our project means more than just supporting an artistic endeavor. It means bringing necessary stories to deprived communities, fostering inclusivity, and challenging the status quo. With your help, we'll curate a collection of books that speak to the heart of our mission. Your contributions will enable us to craft vibrant, eye-catching installations at the NADA Art Fair, captivating audiences and igniting essential conversations.
What Your Contribution Accomplishes
- Book Curation: Your support will enable us to carefully select books that have been censored due to their content, ensuring a diverse and impactful collection.
- Artistic Expression: With your funding, we will transform our little libraries into creative masterpieces, inviting visitors to explore and engage. We’re embracing Miami’s incredible Art Deco architectural history for our first library!
- Community Engagement: By participating in the NADA Art Fair, we're reaching a global audience, spreading awareness about the importance of these censored narratives, and promoting inclusivity.
- Logistics: Your support will help us cover our costs to bring the project to Miami- things like shipping, flights, accomodations, and installation
Be a Catalyst for Change
Your contribution is not just an investment in a project; it's an investment in a more compassionate and understanding world. We're collectively shaping a brighter future by challenging censorship and providing access to these marginalized voices.
