Manifesto Library at Livraria Lello
Dua Lipa, via her Service95 Book Club, opened the Manifesto Library inside Porto’s historic Livraria Lello as part of the BABELL festival — a permanent curated collection of nearly 100 banned or censored books organised around themes of power, control, voice and memory to spark conversation and challenge censorship.
Why it worked: A globally famous tastemaker installed a permanent, provocative collection in an iconic venue, tying censorship to a timely free-speech news cycle.
The lesson: Consider staging a permanent, curated “forbidden” collection in a culturally iconic space, anchored to a current rights debate and a bold spokesperson.
