For Freedoms: Where Do We Go From Here?

This powerful volume documents one of the most ambitious public art initiatives in American history. For Freedoms: Where Do We Go From Here? brings together hundreds of thought-provoking billboards created between 2016 and 2023 by a vast network of artists united by a shared mission: to use art as a force for civic reflection and social dialogue. Spearheaded by Hank Willis Thomas, Eric Gottesman, Wyatt Gallery, and Michelle Woo, the For Freedoms coalition has redefined public space as a platform for expression—sparking conversations around justice, identity, and community across all 50 states.

Featuring work by over 400 influential voices—including Shepard Fairey, Theaster Gates, Guerrilla Girls, Jenny Holzer, JR, and Ai Weiwei—this book captures the diversity and power of creative activism. With a focus on collaboration over partisanship, each billboard challenges viewers to think critically about the world around them and ask bold questions about where we go from here. A compelling record of art in action, this monograph is essential for anyone interested in the intersection of creativity, politics, and public engagement.
