This For Freedoms Town Hall invites a group of artists from different disciplines including theater, dance, visual art, public art, and music to explore creative ways of engaging with civic identity, challenging traditional symbols, and rethinking what patriotism can look like in our modern world. Live performance excerpts from American Patriots provides attendees with an unflinching look at the lived reality of American Ideals today. Artists and cultural organizers Holly Bass, Helena Huang, Marc Bamuthi Joseph, Miguel Luciano, and Samantha Williams will follow with a discussion on how the language and interpretations of patriotism can be rebranded, subverted, and redefined through artistic expressions.
This event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, we strongly encourage you to RSVP.

FREE4ALL: a disorganized or unrestricted situation or event in which everyone may take part, especially a fight, discussion or trading market; a competition, dispute, or battle open to all comers and usually with no rules; BRAWL; the wish, the prayer, the demand, the dream, the search, the gut wrenching, burning meditation shared by people of conscience around the globe, an assemblage of time based media by artists of color for a community of color to explore personal themes of freedom, power, love, and spirituality through self, community, state, nation and world.
Inspired by Art Blakely and the Jazz Messenger’s 1964 album, “FREE FOR ALL,” a transcendent four-track album with the cut “CORE”, a dedication by Freddie Hubbard to the Congress of Racial Equality celebrating their persistence and resourcefulness in CORE's work for total, meaningful equality, FREE4ALL is an attempt to sustain the fires of freedom within.
