For Freedoms:
Leah Sobsey's Photographic Installation Class

Exhibition
October 15th - 26th
Opening: October 17th, 5pm - 7pm

Students will interpret Franklin D. Roosevelt’s concept of Four Freedoms (1941)—freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear, in their own voice and style utilizing photography. Their pieces will culminate into a group show that will be installed at UNCG’s Greensboro Project Space.


Lawn Signs
October 15th - November 15th

Students will take black and white headshot portraits of the local community members in Greensboro and ask them to describe “a moment that they have felt free in their life.” Their answers will be coupled with the portraits and displayed as lawn signs in diverse locations around the city of Greensboro.


Banner
October 15th - November 15th

Students will choose historic images from the archives at UNCG that visually and or historically relate to FDR’s concept of four freedoms. They will then locate speeches or text in the archives that relate to contemporary issues, and provide a parallel narrative between Greensboro’s history and the current problems we face. The text will be coupled with the photographs and printed on banners which will be hung up on the building at UNCG’s Greensboro Project Space.
