Fall Of Freedom

Monroe Gallery of Photography joins Fall Of Freedom with an urgent call to the arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces sweeping the nation. Our Democracy is under attack. Threats to free expression are rising. Dissent is being criminalized. Institutions and media have been recast as mouthpieces of propaganda.

On October 2,3, and 4, 2026, Fall of Freedom returns for its second year — expanding the national call to creative resistance. FoF is an open instigation to artists, venues and institutions across all disciplines to put your work in the world on October 2nd, 3rd, & 4th, countering fascist repression and censorship with joyful communities of defiant creativity. Art matters. Courage is contagious.

In solidarity with of Fall Of Freedom, Monroe Gallery presents a Pop Up exhibiton online of photographs documenting people struggling for their freedom; their right to live without fear, their right to speak and the right to protest inequities
