Read Banned Books Santa Fe New Mexico Tote Bag | Double-Sided Plaza Design

Santa Fe. The oldest capital city in the US. Adobe and altitude and art and something older than all of it underneath.

The Pueblo people's culture predated the European settlement of Santa Fe by 12,000 years. Santa Fe has served under five different governments: Spain, the Tewa Puebloans, Mexico, the Confederate States of America, and the United States. And during the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, after driving the Spanish out, the victorious Pueblo people turned the Plaza itself into a multi-story pueblo arranged around two central squares, each with a kiva. They remade the center of the city in their own image for twelve years.

The Plaza has been a battlefield, a pueblo, a marketplace, an argument, and a piazza. It is all of those things simultaneously right now.

And Georgia O'Keeffe was out in the desert the whole time, painting bones.

A banned book is a book that accidentally wandered into a power structure and stepped on its tail.

Censorship’s greatest flaw is that it forgets how attractive forbidden fruit becomes when somebody hangs a warning sign around its neck.

Ban a book and you don’t bury it. You season it.

You marinate it in human appetite.

You turn literature into moonshine.

A tote bag is the camel of ideas.

It kneels stately and patiently beside civilization’s campfire,

waiting for somebody to load it with contraband truths.

A tote bag has never started a war,

but it has smuggled countless revolutions into libraries, classrooms, coffee shops, and city buses.

It is the unofficial pack mule of curiosity and convenience.
