freedomhouse-art is a world wide community-house for art, information and education for freedom; a workplace for voices and faces for freedom, facilitating communication between cultures, outer and inner worlds, the personal and the collective. Freedom House Art, founded by Iris De Leeuw offers a place for dialogue through the world wide web as well as events, such as the ‘Art as a tool for freedom’ held at the Roosevelt Academy in Middelburg , Holland May 2010.
Eleonor Roosevelt speaks about the universal declaration of human rights, though in our time a review on the standing of universal human rights might be useful in the view of civil unrest in autocratic societies and surplanted forms of democracy. freedomhouse-art likes to inspire a discussion on the issue’s of human rights and universality versus relativity as a start to publish inter-cultural faces4freedom on global and local inter-active social networks. freedomhouse-art wants to be a Clearinghouse and archive for art and freedom in world situations, searching for discriminative creative approaches to communicate, understand, accept and enrich life’s experience. To find other values on freedom will improve tolerance and world peace.

| Hidden Impact , Bristol September 2009 The Hidden Impact project focused on showing prints in unexpected places, as in churches, public toilets and shop window.These prints then formed a trail. The project was carried out with collaborator Anna Harley, on Great George Street in central Bristol.The work- which subverted real estate placards, was site-specific and developed through an on going dialogue with the people living and working on this street. The images explored the hopes, dreams and anxieties people have in relation to their property; issues that are central to ordinary people in the current economic climate of falling house prices, the threat of redundancy and home repossession. The prints were the same size as the real-estate placards and produced from materials and substrates found inside private homes and DIY depots, such as linoleum, wooden floors, rugs and wallpapers. The aim was to create a visual link between the inhabitants and the audience on the street, evoking thoughts and feelings around what a home means, what it is worth and how much it costs or offers in emotional terms.  |
