Metro State University's Gordon Parks Gallery will present BANNED, an evocative exhibition responding to the global trend of book censorship.

The exhibition includes contributions from Professor Emeritus Karen Wirth, Cathy Ryan ‘07, and other prominent figures. Their works range from altered books and photographs to letterpress prints and sculptural objects, each reflecting the theme of challenged or restricted reading materials.

This event aligns with Banned Book Week (September 22-28), amplifying the dialogue on censorship and its implications.

This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism.
