What Freedom Cost is a co-curated multi-part visual and performance-based project comprising photography, videography, print and digital materials, and spoken word performance. It is an exploration of the legacy of systemic violence against people of the African Diaspora, specifically those living in the United States. Enslavement tore Black people away from their ancestral homelands, cultures, traditions, and practices, and new iterations of oppression still impact their lives across the waters.
