Arts+Activism Briefs

Fall of Freedom is an urgent call to the U.S. arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces sweeping the nation.

Beginning November 20-21, 2025, artists from all disciplines are activating waves of creative resistance.

Pull up a chair.
Or a torch.

Visual, performing, literary and other artists have long been powerful voices for social change, political commentary and dissent.

Our world is facing a rise of sociopolitical challenges not witnessed since the 1930s.

We encourage artists to create works that inspire compassion and promote freedom.

  • Speak out against injustice.
  • Challenge the status quo.
  • Strengthen democracy.

The arts provide a powerful platform for resistance.

Detail of Rubens’s Saturn Devouring a Son, showing the Roman god clutching and biting into the body of a child; an allegory of power’s fear of its heirs and its need for scapegoats.

How Creators Refuse to Let Others Drown

From Rubens to Rankine, artists of all disciplines have long challenged the belief that someone must drown for others to breathe.

Or, as we call it, scapegoating.
