Live Arts is proud to announce our premier open call for our 2026 Pride exhibition in the Ford Foundation Live Gallery! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
“Where is the Imagination in Protest?”
This question was posed by Live Arts Artistic Director Bill T. Jones during a conversation with visual artist and activist Dread Scott at the launch of “Fall of Freedom” in 2025, an urgent call to artists and arts institutions to make work amplifying struggles against repression and state violence. The exhibit echoes this call to q***r-identifying artists of all generations whose work confronts our current political moment in imaginative ways.
Live Arts has proudly invited artists and to anchor the group exhibition. Together, these trailblazers teach us to wield a force q***r artists–– and q***r folx–– have cultivated throughout generations: Imagination.
