Special Event
Fall of Freedom: Immigration Storytelling
ICA SF, in partnership with Fall of Freedom, invites visitors to gather around a communal table to respond to storytelling prompts and share their experience with immigration. Whether it’s a personal experience or honoring your family’s heritage, everyone in the United States has a story to tell about how immigration, migration, or borders have impacted our lives.
In dialogue with Masako Miki: Midnight March, we hope to bring people together to reflect on the power of storytelling and the strength that arises when we gather as a community.
Fall of Freedom is an urgent call to the arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces sweeping the nation. Our Democracy is under attack. Threats to free expression are rising. Dissent is being criminalized. Institutions and media have been recast as mouthpieces of propaganda.
This Fall, we are activating a nationwide wave of creative resistance. Beginning November 21–22, 2025, galleries, museums, libraries, comedy clubs, theaters, and concert halls across the country will host exhibitions, performances, and public events that channel the urgency of this moment. Fall of Freedom is an open invitation to artists, creators, and communities to take part—and to celebrate the experiences, cultures, and identities that shape the fabric of our nation.
Art matters. Artists are a threat to American fascism.
Learn more about the artists and culture workers who initiated the movement.
