For Freedoms Town Hall: Art, Activism, and Social (In)Justice?
The UMCA will host a series of events in partnership with ForFreedoms.
The For Freedoms 50 State Initiative is comprised of a national network of artists and institutions across the country who will stage art actions, town hall meetings, and special exhibitions to encourage broad participation and inspire conversation during the upcoming midterm elections. Founded by artists Eric Gottesman and Hank Willis Thomas and inspired by Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms (1941) — freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear — For Freedoms uses art to encourage and deepen public explorations of freedom in the 21st century.
The UMCA For Freedoms events are presented in partnership with the UMass Art Department, the Feinberg Family Distinguished Lecture Series and the Women of Color Leadership Network - CWC with support from a Campus Climate Improvement Grant from the UMass Office of Equity and Inclusion and the Friends of the Fine Arts Center.
