William J. Simmons of Performa comments on the social responsibility and relevance of The Freedom Principle:
“The exhibition is–and I do not think I have ever said this–required viewing, especially as we consider the erasure of non-white individuals that will surely take place under a Trump presidency. Its range and depth are stunning in its presentation of documentary objects and remnants of seminal performances alongside a vast array of Black artistic activity that, I think, will play a part in rewriting art history entirely.”
