Our Freedom: Then and Now

Developed by Future Arts Centres and Open Eye Gallery, it brings together stories of participants who took part in 60 locally led projects across the UK. The images were captured by 22 photographers who followed each project closely, and feature a diverse range of people aged 0 – 100, including schoolchildren, veterans and artists. Following its London premiere, Our Freedom Then and Now is going on tour between 26 March – 30 October, visiting arts centres and libraries that took part in the programme, stretching from Libraries Unlimited in the South West to Eden Court in the Highlands. It is also available to view online – check our site from Wed 25 Mar for details. Our Freedom: Then and Now was delivered by Future Arts Centres in partnership with Libraries Connected, supported using public funding by the UK Government through Arts Council England. The exhibition has been produced by Future Arts Centres, Open Eye Gallery and the Socially Engaged Photography Network.
