In participation with the nationwide project Fall of Freedom, artist Michele Pred will be projecting protest images on the Ferry Building in San Francisco in an event called Projecting Freedom. The photo above showcases a projection Michele Pred created in March 2025 on the Guggenheim Museum in New York. The projection showcases words that the Federal Government has banned.

Michele Pred is a Swedish-American conceptual artist whose practice includes sculpture, assemblage, and performance. Her work uncovers the cultural and political meaning behind everyday objects, with a concentration on feminist themes such as equal pay, reproductive rights, and personal security. Pred’s projects also contain social components that drive the conversation into public spaces. Examples include her exploration of the intersection of personal space and security by using airport-confiscated items after 9/11, the cultural background of the fight for reproductive rights, using thousands of expired birth control pills, and the continuing economic and political struggle for women’s rights, represented by her modified vintage handbag editions.
