AFI Artists Speak Out: Artistic Freedom (1/3)

We asked artists in Artistic Freedom Initiative's network what artistic freedom means to them. This is what they had to say.

Created from interviews with five artists in AFI’s network, this short video series illuminates moments of challenge and triumph. We are proud to share it with you, our community of supporters, who make our work possible.

We hope this series brings you closer to the people who are at the heart of AFI's mission. We hope it inspires you to support AFI’s vital work by making a donation today. As always, we also welcome contributions of resources, partnerships, and other creative forms of support.

We are grateful to King Raam, Faten Gaddes, Haig Papazian, Pedro Molina, and ‘Pemi Aguda for generously providing their voices and stories for this series. The sensitive and often traumatic circumstances that lead artists to seek AFI’s assistance require us to keep many artists’ stories confidential. For every artist’s story that we do share, there are many others for whom it would be too dangerous to do so.
