Liberty Ring!

Liberty Ring!

Each bell in Liberty Ring!, an interactive companion to Ringing the Changes, has its own set of 11 texts with which to explore Liberty, sourced from The Framers, Frederick Douglass, Herman Melville, and Sojourner Truth among others.

One hears heavy tower bells sound in a temporal order, whereas in Liberty Ring! one sees, change after change, the texts materialize in the correct permutational order. In both works, seven threads of thought weave new contexts for each other, in a ring, or in a line, in conversation.

Watch contemporary ringers.
