The organization Freedom to Create was established in 2006 in order to direct the forces of art and culture to build creative and progressive societies. The organization's aim is to give each person the freedom to create himself an opportunity to participate in building and maintaining an inclusive peace and prosperity to the world of tomorrow.
The basis of our work is the belief that communities themselves have the power to creatively discuss and find solutions to the problems that this exhibition shows.
