Freedom of Movement II

Freedom of Movement I & II

Public art installation Freedom of Movement II, The large poster as protest, explores the ‘right to travel as a human rights concept, encompassing the right of individuals to travel from place to place within the territory of a country, and to leave the country and return to it’. The document is autobiographical and recognisable. The bird is spotlighted as a symbol for freedom, as well as referencing landscapes that know no borders.

Commissioned by Scottish Refugee Council for Refugee Festival Scotland. Supported by Sustranser in 2019.

2020 the work was commissioned by Tate Moderron's community team and Better Bankside for "FROM THE OTHERSIDE" project. Freedom of Movement II displayed on London on the building at 180 Borough High Street - which now houses Fora workspace - occupies what was until recently the site of the Overseas Visitors Records Office where 'foreign nationals' registered with the police, and that in a building on the site before that Marcus Garvey once rented a room.
