To mark the anniversary of the abolition of British slave trade, Christian Aid UK and the International Slavery Museum, commissioned a sculpture from Eugene, Celeur, Guyodo and Mario Benjamin. The Freedom! sculpture was unveiled in Liverpool in February 2007 and will tour the country before it becomes a permanent exhibit in the new museum. To incorporate a sense of what freedom and slavery means to people in Haiti today, the artists held workshops with youth groups run by APROSIFA, a Christian Aid-supported organisation in Haiti set up to provide basic education, run health clinics and work towards an end to gang fighting. People are encouraged to take campaigning action at www.pressureworks.org to help change unfair international trade rules and debt terms as part of the fight for freedom and basic human rights today.

Venues of the UK tour include:
· Merseyside Maritime Museum, Liverpool: 26 Feb – 1 April
· Stratford Circus Arts Centre, London: 3 April – 19 April
· The British Empire & Commonwealth Museum, Bristol: 23 April – 11 June
· The Eden Project, Cornwall: 13 June – 31 July
