Founded in 2016 by Hank Willis Thomas, Eric Gottesman, Wyatt Gallery & Michelle Woo, For Freedoms is an artist-led organization that uses art as a catalyst for creative civic engagement, discourse and direct action.

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, Sofia Gallisa Muriente, Gordon Parks, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Maggie Rogers, Hank Willis Thomas, Carrie Mae Weems, and Ai Weiwei, among many more.
