Art is Freedom

Art is Freedom, an art exhibition by survivors of modern slavery

Hestia’s annual art and photography exhibition, 'Art is Freedom' features work created by survivors of modern slavery.

Survivors supported by Hestia's Modern Slavery Response Service take part in art and photography workshops every summer, learning and refining their skills, before submitting their best pieces for the exhibition.

The exhibition takes place during the week of Anti-Slavery Day, 18 October, every year, raising awareness of the modern slavery happening in all of our communities, and the roles we all play in ending it.

This year it will run from 7 - 20 October 2024 at Trafalgar Square, Waterloo Station and Victoria Station.
