Dua Lipa Opens Banned Book Library in Portugal
6 Jul
Summary
- Dua Lipa curated a library of 100 banned books.
- The library is located in Livraria Lello in Porto, Portugal.
- Manifesto Library champions challenged and silenced voices.
In a significant move to promote literature, pop sensation Dua Lipa has inaugurated her own library, known as the Manifesto Library, within the iconic Livraria Lello in Porto, Portugal. This special collection houses 100 books, all of which have faced censorship or were once deemed controversial.
The Manifesto Library is curated to serve as a space that actively challenges established power structures and champions voices that have historically been suppressed. It focuses on themes of power, control, voice, and memory, providing a platform for narratives that have been silenced.
Dua Lipa's commitment to reading extends beyond this physical space, building on her Service95 Book Club initiative launched in June 2023. The library's establishment represents a dedicated effort to celebrate and preserve literature that dares to resist censorship.
