The Declaration of Independence is not a finished document—it is an ongoing promise.
DEAR US treats art as a civic act: a way to hold space for shared values, to challenge complacency, and to imagine a more just future.
These works are not meant to provide easy answers. They are meant to remind us—viscerally and humanely—what is at stake when we talk about inalienable rights, and what is possible when we choose to believe in them again.
