Freedom is Not Free

Piece Description Description by Cibelle Cavalli Bastos: “Much is talked about freedom; we see the word freedom everywhere. As motivational memes are sent around in WhatsApp family groups, words such as freedom, hope and peace, lose their meaning. Featured amongst infantilized and non-threatening graphics they are assimilated and forwarded awash with fake news. To have freedom one must work on oneself to gain freedom of mind, awareness, to have agency and finally, be free. Because now, more than ever, freedom is not free. This work is a reminder.” Here Bastos reframes the Freedom slogan to present a “freedom is not free” timely appraisal.
