Free Speech Forum
Essay
For this project we were required to write an essay that answers the question: Why is an in-depth knowledge of our right to freedom of speech important to our democracy, and how does our 'selection' show/prove this?
In addition to the essay we created a visual that represents our 'selection' and how it correlates to our essays and free speech. For my 'selection' piece I decided to use the book 'I Am Malala'. This book is written by Malala Yousafzai and has been translated into 38 different languages. Malala has made people universally want to join the fight for freedom of speech in all countries.

Artist Statement: "Malala" is a portrait of Malala Yousafzai, recent Nobel Prize winner and advocate for women's education. In place of her face, an image of a book with a bullet in it shows how education motivated her to move forward and inspire other despite an attempt on her life.
