Working with Freedom House Art puts an honourable practice not only in the 21st century, but also puts it into practice.
The print is connected to history of struggle and protest becuse it was the pre-digital form of interconnections. Its inherent multiplicity and cheap production form enabled the print widespread dissemination. The print was viral. Remove the paper, and the internet makes the image as viral as the woodcut print in the late middleages illustrating the feudal uprisings. Here, the artist took the peasant’s side against the church and nobility, because the print already sat on the margins of the underdog.

Freedom House Art is that Printer in the Sky of then and now, where the making of an image or a letterpress poster can be called up for a workshop through a web of socially engaged printbased artists. Freedom House Art offers prints, workshops, conferences and talks on freedom as well as educational creative material to institutions. There wil be shows and meetings between artists, scholars and students, but most of all, with people.

So the print walks out to the world- again. The print is not only my instrument for freedom- but now a tool for others to share.

Watch out- Amos might just come your way with some woodtype in hand!
