Description: "Creating spaces of freedom examines three alternative spaces of freedom: exile, margins and mass attention - in other words, giving ground, going underground and taking up the challenge in the public arena. Both written and visual essays illustrate these distinct spaces. By appearing independently of each other, text and images should be read separately."
