Faces of Free Expression

The International Free Expression Project is presenting the "Faces" exhibit in partnership with IFEX, a global network of more than 100 non-governmental organisations committed to promoting and defending the right to freedom of expression. It is being displayed here in virtual form and in physical form on the facade of the former Post-Gazette newspaper building in the U.S. city of Pittsburgh, as illustrated at the top of this page.

 

IFEX launched their “Faces of Free Expression” campaign to encourage people to defend free expression by sharing the stories of some who do — people who work to secure the right to information, or make it safer for journalists to do their jobs, or expand room for civil society, or hold public officials accountable, or ensure space for artistic creativity. Their tenacity and sacrifice — and that of thousands of others in this global struggle — are an inspiration.
