2019 | Key West, Florida
During the month of February, ArtWorks for Freedom partnered with Erika Biddle, who curated a human trafficking awareness campaign in Key West, Florida entitled, “Blind Spots.” Our outdoor installation “Bought & Sold: Voices of Human Trafficking” was on display at Higgs Beach – a popular tourist destination in the city. This was also the location of an African Cemetery, which was selected to honor the memories and tragedy of those individuals who were abducted from their home in Africa to be sold as “commercial goods” so many years ago.
“Blind Spots” also featured:
- Exhibit of Robin Romano’s photographs of child labor
- Film screening of Len Morris’ film “Children of Bal Ashram”
- Multiple artworks from various community and national artists
