About the exhibit
The ten artists at the center of this exhibition were asked to create an artwork that answered, “What does freedom mean to you?” They responded. For them, freedom is evidence of struggle, of a battle fought and won. It’s a process. It is built collectively. Freedom is the ability to move and transform. Freedom is knowledge and expansive possibility. Freedom is a call to action.

Archive
The UMCA in partnership with the UMass Amherst Libraries Special Collections and University Archives, has curated a selection of archival materials – protest posters, broadsides, calls for action – from their Social Justice Collection. These artifacts provide historical context and invite reflection about how artists and activists engage in visual representations of struggle and hope.
