"What is Freedom of Expression?"

Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right that protects our ability to think, speak,

create, and share ideas without fear of censorship or punishment. It covers everything from

art and literature to protest and personal identity.

​

This right is enshrined in documents like the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and

Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but its boundaries are constantly

debated. While it allows for the open exchange of ideas, it also raises difficult questions:

​

What happens when expression offends, challenges power, or disrupts norms?

Should all forms of expression be protected equally?

​

Understanding freedom of expression means exploring the tension between individual liberty

and societal limits—between what should be said, and what some believe shouldn't. Through

this gallery, you’ll dive into these debates firsthand.
