FREEDOM PROJECT KOLEKCJA is a response to crises and ongoing global conflicts humanity is facing today. Artists were invited to speak up on issues related to human rights, war, violence, social and racial injustice. The mission of this important and timely project is to educate and to create a dialogue between the viewer and the artist in this crucial time of human history.

The collection features 59 artworks created by 60 international artists from 22 countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Peru, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden, UK, USA, and Zimbabwe working in: book art, calligraphy, collage, drawing, fiber art, handmade paper, mixed media, painting, photography, poster design.

I want to thank all the artists for their generous donation of works to the Permanent Collection of the Correspondance Des Arts Foundation / Book Art Museum in Łódź, Poland, in celebration of its 30th anniversary. The artists hold the copyrights to their artworks and statements. FREEDOM PROJECT KOLEKCJA will be shown under the umbrella of the Book Art Museum and also shown at Freedom Project Kolekcja as an online exhibition.
