Un/Equal Freedoms: Expressions for Social Justice
The artworks in this exhibition reckon with the unequal freedoms embedded in our social structures. Viewed as a group, these works offer artistic expressions for social justice, laying bare these unequal freedoms, giving marginalized voices a space for expression, representing forward action, and ultimately offering a vision for an improved society with greater equality and freedom for all.

Time of Possession
A time of possession
The obsession of possessing possessions
Called into question
Moral-less laws, we second guessing
more or less
Used as a weapon
Justice could never step in
Mortgage application
A tool of oppression
Leveraged into suppression
Of votes in an election
Impacts the education
And the regulation
Of a nation
Unnatural elements
No signs of intelligence
At the helm of it
Capitalize, therein lies to sell a bit
Another occasion we celebrate for the hell of it
This information
Or dis-information
In the form of misinformation
Causes you to miss information
And this limitation
Puts you in a situation
Where your whole presentation
Will face discrimination
Within a nation, its overt and its blatant
Almost naturally people hating
And believe me It’s frustrating
Over 400 years plus… waiting.
