Freedom House: An Exhibition

Prizer Arts & Letters - Austin, Texas - April 13-May 11, 2024

Dougherty Arts Center - Austin, Texas - August 10-October 5, 2024

Freedom House: An Exhibition is a multimedia installation equipped with poems, film, furniture, and collages that simulate what freedom — embodied in everyone’s most delicate and personal place, a home — looks, feels, and sounds like. All 19 digital collages in this exhibit are based on poems in KB Brookins’ book of the same name, Freedom House. KB aims to make poetry more than what can exist on a page.

What happens when we live what we language, when we speak of “art” as a verb? When a home displays everything we’ve been through, and everything we stretch for when we say buzzwords like “liberation”, “free _____”, “defund the police”, and the like? A home is a mind well-lived in. Art is one of the many tools we need in order to create a truly free world. So take a walk through KB’s Freedom House. It’s meant to be lived and loved in by you.
