FREEDOM

Freedom is the most contested word in politics - and the one most frequently used to justify its opposite.

The Freedom collection gathers clothing and objects that interrogate the concept rather than celebrate it uncritically. All items in some way or another represent people who fought for their right to exist - as a print, a t-shirt, bodycon dress and a unisex button shirt. Cultural objects that ask what freedom actually means, and for whom.

This is the collection that bridges the Propaganda Department's political range and its cultural and pop culture range. Freedom as political demand. Freedom as cultural icon. Freedom as the thing most at risk when power decides it has the right to define it.

THE HISTORY AND CULTURE:
→ Anarchy - the philosophical tradition that takes freedom most seriously
→ LGBTQ+ Rights - freedom as the right to exist
→ Future Imaginaries - what freedom might look like if we built it
→ Aldous Huxley - the writer who warned us what unfreedom feels like comfortable
