The exhibition considers George Orwell\u2019s <em>1984<\/em>, exploring the forces that try to silence free speech and the revolutions that rise in response. These works contextualise Orwell\u2019s novel amongst contemporary political upheaval, AI, fake news, and the unchecked power of social media.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The State Library and Archives of Tasmania has curated and displayed a collection of books that have been challenged throughout history, and today. This exhibition represents and interprets diverse points of view through a collection of banned, restricted and controversial books. Read some of these books and more during your visit in the \u2018Silenced Reading\u2019 library.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"12044\" src=\"https:\/\/nightwolfsden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_0137-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12044\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"12045\" src=\"https:\/\/nightwolfsden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_0138-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12045\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"12047\" src=\"https:\/\/nightwolfsden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_0142-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12047\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"12046\" src=\"https:\/\/nightwolfsden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_0141-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12046\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During our recent trip to Hobart we took the kids to check out the exhibition on banned books Revolution &amp; Silence.
