In the heart of Manhattan, I dressed up as Lady Liberty and set up three childhood play stations: a hula hoop, hopscotch drawn on the sidewalk, and a jump rope. I invited passersby to join in. By the end of the day, I found myself doing hopscotch <em>while<\/em> jumping rope\u2014powered purely by joy and curiosity.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the midst of political absurdity and democratic decline, this performance reimagines public engagement as childhood play. It\u2019s an invitation to step out of overwhelm, even briefly, and connect with others through something simple, absurd, and human: play.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The piece was created during <em>Situation as Site<\/em>, a 3-day public performances &amp; interventions workshop led by the Ed Woodham at the Art Students League of New York. It opened up a new direction in my practice\u2014toward a kind of public art that happens in real time, with real people. One that doesn\u2019t live on a pedestal or a wall, but in motion, in laughter, in vulnerability, and in shared presence.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freedom in Recess reminded me how deeply art can connect us\u2014when we let go, open up, and allow ourselves to play.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element
