Event History
Passion For Freedom was started in London by a small group of friends who shared a goal of achieving basic human rights for all and decided to use art as both their weapon and their shield. Predominantly young women, they also sought to highlight the hypocrisy of the West when it comes to the female body.
The internationally renowned Passion For Freedom art festival will open in London on Monday 1st October at its new home in the The Royal Opera Arcade Gallery & La Galleria Pall Mall. The exhibition will showcase uncensored art from the UK, Europe and around the world, promoting human rights, highlighting injustice and celebrating artistic freedom of expression.
The festival asks artists to consider three questions, the Passion For Freedom 3 (PFF3):
What is freedom?
How do you preserve it?
How do you celebrate it?

Predominantly young women, they also sought to highlight the hypocrisy of the West when it comes to the female body.
For 10 years the festival has shown works from over 400 artists representing 47 countries. This year there will be a collection of films and books, as well as an event about journalism.
Every year there is a Gala Ceremony which closes out the event. Three artists will be nominated for the General Awards and three films will receive our Freedom Film Awards. The audience will vote for their favourite piece of art in the People’s Choice Freedom Award during the Gala Ceremony.
