The Free Pages Project places sculptural libraries in public spaces to provide access to banned books and promote intellectual freedom.
About this Event

Alex Jacob’s The Free Pages Project uses public art to provide access to banned literature and raise awareness about the importance of intellectual freedom. Through sculptural libraries created for public spaces, communities engage with books that challenge dominant narratives and offer diverse perspectives. Each library symbolizes resistance to censorship, inviting people to explore ideas being silenced in mainstream discourse. By sparking dialogue and encouraging creative engagement, The Free Pages Project aims to highlight literature and personal narratives' vital role in shaping our understanding of our country and the world. Concurrently, Chase Romero’s All But Mud & Memories addresses the inevitability of erosion through the lens of personal memories from locals and visitors of New Orleans’ neighboring parish, Algiers Point. 

 

These two exhibitions will be on view May 10–17 with a reception scheduled for Saturday, May 17 from 6–8 p.m.
