The question “Where is the Imagination in Protest?” was posed by Live Arts Artistic Director Bill T. Jones during a conversation with visual artist and activist Dread Scott at the launch of Fall of Freedom in 2025, an urgent call to artists and arts institutions to make work amplifying struggles against repression and state violence. We echoed this call to queer-identifying artists of all generations whose work confronts our current political moment in imaginative ways.
