For Freedoms
‍Billboards

As a part of the Next Stop: Chicago campaign, Gertie teamed up with For Freedoms to reproduce and re-mount five existing pro-democracy billboards in Chicago during the time of the DNC. Each of these billboards was originally commissioned by For Freedoms with different artists from around the country and we have placed one of these billboards in each of the communities in which we are activating with our partner organizations.

For Freedoms also collaborated with Gertie and SkyART to help bring artist Jake Troyli’s vision for a mural in East Garfield Park to life.
