Connect and collaborate with activists and art spaces around the world.

The freeDIMENSIONAL social network on Ning invites your interest.

Mission

freeDimensional (fD) advances social justice by hosting activists in art spaces and using cultural resources to strengthen their work. We…

  1. Provide resources and safe haven for oppressed activists and culture workers.
  2. Facilitate knowledge-sharing among art spaces who actively participate in local community organizing.
  3. Engage the art world and mainstream media to heighten public awareness and influence policy change on critical issues.

Vision & Guiding Principles

Based on the belief that creative expression fuels social justice movements, fD works with the global arts community to identify and redistribute resources, and support meaningful relationships between artists and activists.

Throughout its work, fD aims to engage with and foster solidarity among marginalized groups, including LGBT communities, people experiencing economic oppression, people with disabilities, migrants, and young people. fD is also committed to promoting long-term economic and environmental sustainability within its network of art centers and human rights organizations.

fD is a decentralized organization that recognizes the power of strategic partnerships throughout its work. Rather than a top-down imposition of values and programs, fD works with local civil society groups, social movements of all scales, arts organizations, schools and independent media outlets to build meaningful grassroots programs. fD is powered by the energy of its members, many of whom volunteer their time and resources to benefit the online and offline communities.
