Launched by artists Wyatt Gallery, Eric Gottesman, Hank Willis Thomas, and Michelle Woo, the richly illustrated book Where Do We Go From Here? documents every billboard the artist collective and activist group For Freedoms has commissioned.

The project featuring seven years worth of billboards, aims “to expand what participation in a democracy looks like.” The roster includes Shepard Fairey, Theaster Gates, the Guerrilla Girls, Jenny Holzer, Rashid Johnson, JR, Carrie Mae Weems, Deborah Willis, and Ai Weiwei.
