Essex Book Festival and Index on Censorship invite you to join them for UNSPEAKABLE: a day of challenging and illuminating conversations, performance, exhibitions and workshops hosted by the University of Essex, that explores historic and contemporary issues of censorship, no-platforming, freedom of speech, and taboos.

Index on Censorship is a not-for-profit organisation that publishes work by censored writers and artists, and campaigns on freedom of expression worldwide.
