On Sunday 19 May 2024 from 11.30am to 12.30pm, the Singaporean artist Shubigi Rao will be joining a panel discussion covering the topic of the global rise of book bans, alongside authors Viet Thanh Nguyen and Lauren Groff, and journalist Adam Dudding. Programmed as part of the Auckland Writers Festival 2024, the event will take place in the Hunua Room at the Aotea Centre.
The focus of Rao's artistic research over the past few years has been on the concept of book as a container of knowledge and the role of libraries. The choice of discussing book bans stems from the recent rise of literary censorship – in 2023 almost 2000 books were targeted for banning in America alone.
More information about the panel discussion is available on Te Tuhi's website.
