The time to engage in defending human rights and free expression has
never been as important as it is today. With so many issues of
censorship facing individuals and communities around the world the
question becomes how we can learn and share from each other to make
information more accessible. One opportunity has come in the form of a
partnership between freeDimensional, a nonprofit organization, and
Casa Frela Gallery. With so many avenues of communication available to
us today we sometimes get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of
information at our fingertips. For this reason, freeDimensional, an
international nonprofit organization based in NYC, has teamed up with
Casa Frela Gallery to make learning about and connecting to the world
of human rights, free expression and the arts a more accessible
exercise. We invite you to learn how nonprofits such as ours and
others, which work in the field of human rights and the arts, navigate
the local and global terrain.

During freeDimensional's time at Casa Frela Gallery we will hold
offices hours Monday - Friday from 12noon - 5pm. We will
also host a number of events in the evening time, ranging from a
screening of a Chinese dissident's daring film of the police who guard
his home, to an opening reception featuring artists and musicians (see
schedule below). From 12 to 5 on weekdays, we throw open the doors to
visitors and a free-flowing exchange of ideas.
