What is a literary rebellion? Can literature change the world? To read and write is a slow pursuit, and often a solitary one. Still reading and writing are often seen as something threatening. Texts have been censored and banned, authors have been threatened, persecuted and even imprisoned for what they write.

In the photo exhibition Literary Rebellion, twelve Nobel Laureates in Literature are depcited in the Spanish photographer Kim Manresa’s gripping and beautiful images. The authors have in different ways used their writing as a way to question, create change and make resistance. Through their literature, they have in different ways worked to create and maintain spaces for the free word.
