Rated R(ead): From Hogwarts to Handmaid's Tale—Sex and Censorship in Banned Books
Saturday November 23, 2024 11:00am - 12:00pm EST
TBA
Join us for a relaxed, interactive workshop where we’ll explore how banned books tackle themes of sexuality, desire, and identity—and why these books often land on the banned list in the first place. We’ll kick things off with a fun game called "Bible or Banned Book" where we’ll read surprising passages, and you’ll guess whether they’re from a classic banned book or the Bible. After that, we’ll dive into some key excerpts from banned literature and have an open discussion on why these portrayals of sexual experiences make people uncomfortable, what they say about society, and why they matter. This is a safe, judgment-free zone to explore how literature can challenge norms and open up conversations about identity and relationships. Perfect for readers, writers, and anyone curious about what gets books banned—and why it’s worth talking about.
