Join ESMoA and Artist Cole Sternberg for a special party in celebration of the Experience 47: FREESTATE.

FREESTATE is the origin story of Sternberg’s ongoing project The Free Republic of California, a conceptual, agitprop artistic movement. Wide-reaching in its applications–including its own political documents, clothing, and artistic manifestations­­­–this exhibition encompasses sculpture, text, political signage and photography to convey the fundamental core of the project through the lens of visual art. The works serve as a theoretical and artistic gesture for a more enlightened nation through the guise of Californian secession, exploring issues such as human rights, ecological collapse, democracy and freedom.
