Since then, we've danced on buildings all over San Francisco, and turned public art into public conversation about women’s rights, prison abolition, historic sites, and more. Now we want to celebrate with you: the artists, collaborators, and community who made it all possible. Join us for a Live preview of our newest work-in-progress, Footage and photos from three decades of Flyaway performances, Art from our archive and our community, Stories and memories shared by the people who've been with us along the way, and Snacks and drinks on a sunny afternoon. FREEDOM COMES WHEN ONE WALKS THROUGH IT October 3-17, 2026 Shows at 1PM and 3:15 PM; justice circle at 2PM at 3 branch libraries in San Francisco Saturday, October 3 Visitacion Valley Branch Library 201 Leland Avenue San Francisco, CA 94134 Saturday, October 10 San Francisco Main Library, Fulton Street Plaza 100 Larkin Street San Francisco, CA 94102 Saturday, October 17 Ortega Branch Library 3223 Ortega Street San Francisco, CA 94122 Tickets Free: no reservation required FREEDOM COMES WHEN ONE WALKS THROUGH IT is a dance-based public art project connecting public libraries—designed to freely nourish people and inspire belonging—with the institution of prison—designed for punishment, ostracization, and cruel indifference. It will juxtapose the best and worst of these two American institutions, exploring testimony from currently incarcerated women regarding their specific paths to freedom via commutation, parole, 1170 resentencing, appeals, legislation (like the Racial Justice Act), activism, and art creation. It will uplift their struggle and honor how the soul gets free.
