FREEDOM/TIME

WHO ARE WE?


“Freedom time” served as a call for liberation in the black power movements of the 1960s-70s. Invoking the spirit of those revolutionary struggles, “Freedom/Time” equally reference the temporal logic of the modern carceral state: doing time, serving time, time as punishment measured in months and years. 

The work of imprisoned artists collected for this show celebrates the alchemical genius of prisoners who find ways to claim moments of freedom even under conditions of extreme domination, confinement, surveillance, and violence.

Claiming a space for creation and artistic production can feel like a taking back of stolen time. “Freedom/Time testifies to this spirit of resistance even in conditions of captivity
