The Fortune Society: Future Freedoms marks the second exhibition at MoMA PS1 by the Long Island City-based non-profit organization that promotes alternatives to and supports successful reentry from incarceration. Featuring new works created while in residence at MoMA PS1, the exhibition in Homeroom includes self-portraits, garments, poetry, pennants, sculptures, audio recordings, a billboard, and a music video. Future Freedoms is the culmination of a four-year collaboration between the two organizations, alongside artists Jenny Polak and Laura Cerón Melo, as part of the Creatives Rebuild New York initiative. Reckoning with the aftermaths of incarceration, the exhibition imagines a more just future enacted through creativity.

The Fortune Society: Future Freedoms is organized by Elena Ketelsen González, Assistant Curator, MoMA PS1, with Janggo Mahmud, Public Programs and Community Engagement Fellow, MoMA PS1, in collaboration with The Fortune Society Creative Arts Department and artists Laura Ceron Melo and Jenny Polak.

Homeroom activations are supported by funding from the Mellon Foundation.
