Art at Watson Presents — In the Name of FREƎDOM, Azadeh Ghotbi ’91
“In the Name of FREƎDOM” is a series composed of photography, installation and multimedia works which will be displayed at the Watson Institute throughout Fall 2025. It aims to confront the unsettling realities of oppression, injustice, and inequality that persist in many corners of the world. The first visual cue is in the title itself. The artist created a visual antonym for the word “freedom” by rendering it with interlocking E’s to symbolize entrapment, encaged rights, and restrained voices.Opening Panel and Reception - Wednesday, September 24, 4:30 - 6:00 pm.

About the Artist - Azadeh Ghotbi ’91
My very name, Azadeh, means “free-spirited” in Persian, the language of Iran, a country I fled at an early age. Keenly aware of the erosion of freedom around the world since my international relations days at Brown (’91), I’ve created a body of work with a deep sense of social responsibility. This series invites viewers to move beyond passive observation and engage with the emotional and political weight of those silenced, displaced, or marginalized in the name of a higher power.
“In the Name of FREƎDOM” is a call to consciousness. It confronts the systems and structures that deny basic freedoms, asking viewers to reflect on their roles in the global struggle for justice. How much freedom is there really around the world? Who is it limited to? Is the country or group I’m affiliated with somehow complicit in any way? The series aims to break through apathy, challenging the viewer not only to witness, but to reflect, to feel empathy and to act. It seeks to offer a visual platform for reimagining a world where freedom is not the privilege of a few but a true universal right for all. Receive SMS online on sms24.me
