Freedom Constellations is an interactive mural, city hall art installation, film & city bus that imagine a world where all youth have what they need to thrive and stay free.
The Constellations
Art created by @Killjoy, Philadelphia
The Mural
Performing Statistics worked with Rise for Youth and Code VA to create a multi-media mural envisioning the joy, freedom and power made possible by a world without youth prisons, across the street from the place department in Richmond, VA.
Hear from the young people who worked on this project! Learn more about the mural process>>>
The City Hall AR Banner Installation
Youth dreams of liberation dance in the clouds when viewers hold their phones up to the banners hanging from Richmond City Hall.
The Film
The Smithsonian invited Performing Statistics to create a film to be part of the Futures exhibit. In the summer of 2021, RISE for youth and the PS Youth Ambassador squad shot a beauty!
The Bus Wrap
Why not use a city bus to literally transport the ideas of young people around the city!?
