Let Them Be Free // is a juried photography exhibit inspired by the themes for FotoFest 2020 // Rights, Liberty and Representation. Artists are encouraged to use their imagination in interpreting these themes in relation to the show's title "Let Them Be Free". Our host A 2nd Cup has always been about the themes of this year’s FotoFest. Focusing on Human Trafficking, A 2nd Cup was created to provide an avenue for generating awareness of human trafficking and working towards the abolition of slavery in our city. They are also developing resources that help create a second chance for survivors, which is why this year’s show is benefiting Brazen Table, a culinary training program for human trafficking survivors. While not all of us can relate to the horrors of human trafficking. We can all relate on some level to being held captive to things like finances, expectations, insecurities, anxiety and the list could go on and on. So, what does it mean to you to Be Set Free?
