Freedom is...

Nigerian-American artist Odili Donald Odita has created a monumental new work for Philadelphia. Freedom is… takes the form of a triptych of sheer fabric banners suspended from the vaulted ceiling of Broad Street Love, a historic site of sanctuary on South Broad Street. Bathed in light from the site's stained-glass windows, the work pulses with abstract shapes and vibrant color — a visual response to its own open-ended title. Created in collaboration with The Fabric Workshop and Museum, this permanent commission honors Philadelphia as both the birthplace of America and a sanctuary city, and lifts up the voices of those whose contributions have too often gone unrecognized.
