How to Participate

No effort is too big or too small, whether you’re running a 10,000 seat venue or a small high school library. We invite any size event to join in.

1. Plan an Event or Exhibition

  • Organize a reading, performance, exhibition, comedy set, concert, screening, or gathering in your community.

  • It can be large or small, polished or improvised—what matters is that it carries the Fall of Freedom banner.

2. Rebrand What Already Exists

  • If you already have an event or exhibition scheduled in November, simply align it with Fall of Freedom.

  • Add the name, share the message, and situate your work within this collective celebratory wave.

3. Use The Fall Of Freedom logo

  • Apply the Fall of Freedom identity to your event or exhibition: posters, social media, stage announcements, or a line on your flyer.

  • This signals solidarity and connects your work to a national network of cultural resistance celebrations.

4. Share Your Event or exhibition 

  • Submit your event  or exhibition to our national map so others can discover it.

  • Promote it across your own channels and tag #FallofFreedom as a collaborator so the movement spreads.

5. Stand Together

  • No act is too small. A single reading, an open mic, a pop-up performance, or a classroom workshop—all matter.

  • Together, these independent sparks form a nationwide chorus against censorship and silence.

EXAMPLES OF WHAT YOU COULD DO

    • Highlight works from your collection that confront censorship, or injustice. 

    • Curate a focused show around freedom of expression.

    • Partner with artists you represent to create a collective exhibition under the Fall of Freedom banner or label.
