Between Four Freedoms
2020, 2021
Presented at FDR Four Freedoms State Park during the fall of 2021, the two murals for Between Four Freedoms were generated through a series of workshops during which the artist collaborated with participants to reinterpret the Four Freedoms through the lens of their own lived experiences—engaging with the capacity of hand gestures to convey their truths.
QR code generated animations for each image offered viewers a window into this otherwise intimate workshop process—giving guests, via their mobile phones, the opportunity to listen to different participants contemplate their experiences of freedom, whether withheld, barred, or actively stripped away.
I want this to be a reinterpretation, not a rearticulation… What would the most vulnerable communities living and breathing today, especially considering the intersecting crises of the last year, say about the Four Freedoms? Freedom of worship. Freedom of speech. Freedom from want. Freedom from fear.”
