Iran. 2017. © Newsha Tavakolian / Magnum Photos. "The young woman in red hesitates as she enters the water. Perhaps this is the first time she has seen the open sea. I did not ask her. I just watched. Her two female family members rest in the sand, their feet in the water. Everywhere in the world, freedom and eternity find one another on the far horizon of the endless sea. Freedom is often described with big words, but we encounter it every day in the little things we do." - Newsha Tavakolian Snowfall behind a shuttered K-Mart. Flint, Michigan, USA. 2016 © Matt Black / Magnum Photos. "America calls itself 'the land of the free,' but fewer and fewer people enjoy the reality of that ideal. This picture is from Flint, Michigan, where I photographed the aftermath of lead contamination that exposed a generation of kids to developmental delays and other health problems. When your town is collapsing, and you can't afford to change your circumstances, then what does freedom mean?" - Matt Black Los Angeles, California. 1981 © Harry Gruyaert / Magnum Photos. "At the time this image was taken, in 1981, and perhaps still today, Los Angeles was seen as the land of freedom and happiness, with its bright sunshine and round-the-clock entertainment. It's a spirit evoked in this image: an effortless cool, an invitation to independence. This picture is part of East/West, two separate books gathered in a split case and published in 2017 by Thames and Hudson and Textuel. One presents images of L.A and Las Vegas shot in 1981 and the other, images of Moscow shot in 1989. Bar girl in a brothel in the red-light district. Havana, Cuba. 1954. © Eve Arnold/Magnum Photos. "I have been poor and I wanted to document poverty; I had lost a child and I was obsessed with birth; I was interested in politics and I wanted to know how it affected our lives; I am a woman and I wanted to know about women." - Eve Arnold Doud, age 11. Wolfsburg, Germany. 2017. "It was night when Doud boarded a small rubber boat. It was his first time seeing the ocean, and now he was amongst a group of refugees, escaping their homes in search of freedom elsewhere. Doud didn't know how to swim and feared the boat would sink. A year later, now in Germany, he is with a handful of other refugees learning to swim as a way of overcoming their fear of water associated with the journey they made to Europe. When I look at this image, I see the trauma that accompanied Doud's sacrifice. It's a constant duality for me: there's no freedom without that risk." - Diana Markosian Venice Beach Rock Festival. California, USA. 1968 © Dennis Stock / Magnum Photos Chile. 1987 © David Alan Harvey / Magnum Photos. "On my right wrist is a small tattoo: a red balloon. Why? It's in honor of the '50's French classic short film The Red Balloon. Saw it when I was a kid. Watched it last week. The last scene has always been burned into the back of my brain. When I saw this boy in Santiago, Chile, that ultimate image of freedom popped into my head. There are all kinds of freedom. Creative freedom being one of the most rewarding."
