Banned Books Panel Discussion

Join us for a panel discussion exploring the power of art and information in the face of censorship. This collaborative event by the Stanley Museum of Art, the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, and the Iowa City Public Library will explore the enduring impact of Keith Haring's work in the fight against HIV/AIDS. We'll discuss the historical and contemporary implications of banned books on sexual health and the importance of unrestricted access to information.

• Saba Vlach, College of Education

• Oluwafemi Adeagbo, College of Public Health
• Sam Helmick, Iowa City Public Library
• Laura Cottrell, Iowa City Community School District
