For Freedoms Lawn Sign Event and Voter Registration
The University Galleries and the Center for Student Involvement at Montclair State University will co-host a temporary, outdoor exhibition and voter registration event on Wednesday, October 10, 1:00 - 4:00PM, with For Freedoms Lawn Signs at the University Amphitheater in front of the Kasser Theater and George Segal Gallery. Visitors are encouraged to fill in the lawn signs, place them in the amphitheater, and contribute to a dynamic public dialogue. Voter registration services will be available, and the signs will remain on display for a time.
WHAT IS A FOR FREEDOMS LAWN SIGN EVENT?
At these events, participants are encouraged to produce and publicly display their own definition of freedom by filling out signs that say:
- Freedom Of ____
- Freedom From _____
- Freedom For ______
- Freedom To______
WHY?
The Four Freedoms outlined by FDR and Norman Rockwell began to articulate the human right to freedom, but the articulation of those freedoms did not apply to everyone. The lawn signs allow every participant to define freedom in their own way and articulate a vision of freedom that contains multitudes.
