The first monograph of the hundreds of billboards by artist-led coalition For Freedoms, the largest public creative collaboration in American history
Founded in 2016 by Hank Willis Thomas, Eric Gottesman, Wyatt Gallery, and Michelle Woo, For Freedoms is an artist-led organization that uses art as a catalyst for creative civic engagement, discourse, and direct action.
With the aim to infuse an anti-partisan, arts-based perspective into the political landscape, For Freedoms has collaborated with thousands of artists, activists, and scholars to create more than 500 evocative billboards that use art as a vehicle to deepen public discussions on civic issues and core values.
This comprehensive volume includes billboards created between 2016-2023 by over 400 established artists, including Derrick Adams, Gina Belafonte, Sanford Biggers, Paula Crown, Shepard Fairey, Theaster Gates, Guerrilla Girls, Jenny Holzer, Rashid Johnson, JR, Christine Sun Kim, Marilyn Minter, Sofía Gallisá Muriente, Gordon Parks, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Maggie Rogers, Hank Willis Thomas, Carrie Mae Weems, and Ai Weiwei, among many more.
This new book celebrates how For Freedoms has transformed public commercial space into exhibition space and launched a creative collaboration of epic proportion. Published ahead of the 2024 American presidential election, it also underscores the For Freedoms mission to model how art can urge communities into greater action and participation.

Store description
La Librería Prometeo nace en un modesto local de la ciudad de Málaga, en 1969, con una vocación de fomento de la cultura. Prometeo es ese héroe de la mitología griega que pretende construir un mundo a la medida del hombre. En 1975 aparece la Librería Proteo. El nombre hace referencia a un dios marino, también de la mitología griega, caracterizado por sus capacidades adaptativas. El paso del tiempo nos obliga a transformarnos en una empresa cada vez más eficiente pero sin menoscabo de su vocación germinal de servicio a la cultura, en un contexto laboral digno y en una práctica de un comercio serio y equitativo. En todo ello seguimos, después de 43 años de existencia. Nuestro pensamiento sigue puesto en un buen trabajo, en una actividad de fomento de la cultura y en una presencia perdurable en la ciudad. En el año 2004 llevamos a cabo la rehabilitación de la casa donde radica Librería Proteo siguiendo criterios ecológicos. En esa actuación se descubrió la Torre del siglo XIII de la antigua Puerta de Buenaventura y se integró en la fachada del edificio y en el interior de la librería.…
