Inspired by the 1860s Wide Awakes, described as “a band of abolitionist dreamers whose communal confrontation of partisan instability led to the election of Abraham Lincoln,” the For Freedoms project focuses on voter engagement and works with various artists and organizations to reshape conversations about politics through artistic and public discourse. After the 2018 50 State Initiative, which reinterpreted Rockwell’s famous painting Four Freedoms, the organization is back at it again with an even more politically charged project, which will be on view until November 7 in various roads and highways across the more than fifty states of the US. And remember: vote, vote, vote!
