Begleitend zur FotoFocus Biennale 2022 betrachtet Free as They Want to Be die historische und zeitgenössische Rolle, die Fotografie und Film bei der Erinnerung an das Erbe der Sklaverei und ihre Folgen gespielt haben, und untersucht gleichzeitig das soziale Leben schwarzer Amerikaner an verschiedenen Orten, einschließlich des Landes, zu Hause, in Fotoalben, an historischen Stätten und im öffentlichen Gedächtnis.

Die Publikation, die ihren Namen von James Baldwins Buch Nobody Knows My Name aus dem Jahr 1961 hat, stellt etwa 20 Künstler vor, die in den Bereichen Fotografie, Video, Siebdruck, Projektion und Mixed-Media-Installation arbeiten und die alle die Möglichkeiten der Freiheit erforschen. Ihr Bestreben, „so frei zu sein, wie sie sein wollen“, spiegelt sich in den Themen wider, die sie erforschen, sowie in ihrem Bestreben, ästhetische Praktiken in fotografischen Medien zu erneuern.

Zu den Fotografen und Künstlern gehören: Terry Adkins, Radcliffe Bailey, JP Ball Studio, Sadie Barnett, Dawoud Bey, Sheila Pree Bright, Bisa Butler, Omar Victor Diop, Nona Faustine, Adama Delphine Fawundu, Daesha Devon Harris, Isaac Julien, Catherine Opie, Yelaine Rodriguez, Hank Willis Thomas, Lava Thomas, Carrie Mae Weems, Wendel White und William Earle Williams.
