Freedom to Read What I Want

Organization: Atlanta Quilt Festival Location South Fulton, GA Entry Fee Paid Entry Deadline June 1, 2025 Exhibition Aug 1 - Sep 6, 2025
Recently there have been unprecedented efforts to ban certain books. Banning books is a threat to freedom of speech, freedom of choice and often a suppression of history. Efforts to ban books must be resisted. The Atlanta Quilt Festival plans to shine an artistic light on efforts to ban books by showcasing original art quilts that depict a banned book in some way. We hope the exhibit will provoke thought and discussion about the importance of freedom.

There are many lists of banned books, but a good place to start your research is the American Library Association. It has published a list of books that have been challenged or banned. The Atlanta Quilt Festival encourages all quilters to learn to tell their own stories. Every story is important and should not be banned.
