Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' was barred in China in 1931.

'The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales' written by The Brothers Grimm was challenged in Arizona in 1994 for racism and violence.

In 1989, Dr. Seuss' 'The Lorax' was challenged in the Laytonville Unified School District because it "criminalizes the foresting industry."

In 1999, Roald Dahl's 'James and the Giant Peach' was banned from an elementary School in Lufkin, Texas for offensive language.

Madeleine L'Engle's 'A Wrinkle in Time' was banned because it undermines religious beliefs.

Dr. Seuss' 'Green Eggs and Ham' was banned in the People's Republic of China because of its 'portrayal of early Marxism'.

Banned Books Week 2012

“All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorship.” -George Bernard Shaw

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

The Complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales by The Brothers Grimm

The Lorax by Dr. Seuss

Richard Mosse’s Infra offers a radical way of looking at a war-torn area. During a two-year span Mosse documented the ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo using a discontinued military infrared surveillance film called Kodak Aerochrome. The film registers an invisible spectrum of infrared light, turning the green landscape and military attire into beautiful shades of pinks.

ryandonato:

After about four-hundred and twenty hours and a whopping two tons of broken glass, Aérial by French artist Baptiste Debombourg flows like a flash flood of glass into the Coloumn Hall in Cologne. This installation freezes time as if the glass was petrified when the crystalline structure was breaking.
