Hua Ze is a documentary film director and a human rights activist. She worked for China Central Television (CCTV) for 12 years, producing more than 50 Chinese history and biography documentaries. Hua left CCTV in 2010 in order to be an independent documentary director. Additionally, she is deeply devoted to freedom of speech and human rights issues in China, making documentaries on China&amp;rsquo;s civil rights movements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In October 2010, she was kidnapped and secretly imprisoned for 55 days by the Chinese police. In early 2011 she came to the United States as a visiting scholar at Columbia University. She founded the non-profit organization “China Right in Action” in order to help Chinese human rights defenders.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Regional Initiatives</title><link>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/regional-initiatives/</link><pubDate>Thu, 13 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/regional-initiatives/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Our regional initiatives include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-1-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Norwegian capital sleeps on the shoulder of water Oslo opera house. It is a peaceful structure breathing below a changeable weather that displays simply the “unexpected”, the “percussive” and the “unrest”. The weather of Oslo resembles a state of instability. Political in the first sense and in a country somewhere, thousands of miles away from Oslo city. The “unexpected”, the “percussive” and the “unrest” are three vertices, each of particular dimension, that induce a temptation into the artist/writer/activist to move within and try to come up with a result. Yes, if these three vertices got joined together in a triangle, nothing can fit inside better than a chart of “politics of nowadays”. That may sort an elementary exercise in geometry. Is it easy to construct a triangle when the three points are located on the page? May be. A matter again to be thought about! Not that easy in fact. You have to cling in your neck a basket of requirements! Metaphorically speaking, to be able to connect the three vertices, you have to distinguish them first. And to be distinguished, an effort has to be done as they wouldn’t be located so clearly. And the medium that hosts them should be already existing, but either translucent, either turbid or dirty. However, you need also to track the “why” behind their location as well! Is that too complicated? The simplest way then, sounds to go backwards. If you know that the paper (the medium) we are talking about is nothing but the country, any country under political and military conflict, ethnic struggle, civil war, revolution, or any other kind of tension, then you can find your way to the “why” and you can understand how it means “translucent, turbid or dirty”. You will end up most probably pointing your finger to each of the vertices: the “unexpected”, the “percussive” and the “unstable”.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Intake Form (Theatre Without Borders)</title><link>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/intake-form-twb/</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/intake-form-twb/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;If you have inconsistent internet access or for whatever reason are unable to input to this form directly, a downloadable version is available here: &lt;a href="https://fd.tllester.info/pdfs/fD_Distress_Services_Intake_Form_Sept2012.doc"&gt;fD Distress Services Intake Form&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During the summer of 2012, fD will host a weeklong collaboration residency, taking the idea of artist residency and expanding it conceptually to address the needs of collaborative teams developing regional/local initiatives to provide direct service to or raise awareness of issues faced by culture workers doing the work of activists. Representatives of various cultural, human rights and social justice networks, organizations and movements are invited to submit proposals for collaborative initiatives they would like to shape with their peers.  From these proposals, fD will select 6-8 teams to participate in COL:LAB 2012.  Each selected team will have the opportunity to be in residence (along with 2 – 4 contributing partners) on Wasan Island (&lt;a href="https://www.wasan-island.de"&gt;www.wasan-island.de&lt;/a&gt;) for a week in July 2012.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Tactical Notebook</title><link>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/tactical-notebook/</link><pubDate>Tue, 14 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/tactical-notebook/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Our Tactical Notebook, &amp;ldquo;Art Spaces Hosting Activism: Using surplus resources to provide individual assistance and strengthen community engagement&amp;rdquo;, was produced with New Tactics in Human Rights. &lt;a href="http://www.newtactics.org/en/ArtSpaces"&gt;Click here for more information from New Tactics.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Coalition is a network of aligned people who represent social movements, human rights organizations, mobility operators, host cities and communities of conscience, artist residencies and associations, and their related networks.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Wasan Meeting</title><link>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/wasan-meeting/</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/wasan-meeting/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.breuninger-stiftung.de"&gt;Breuninger Stiftung&lt;/a&gt; provides training support and technical assistance to freeDimensional each summer by hosting the network at its &lt;a href="http://www.wasan-island.de"&gt;Wasan Island&lt;/a&gt; conference facility in Canada.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="2010-retreat"&gt;2010 Retreat&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;July 11-14, 2010, fD convened leaders of human rights organizations, art space and practice networks, and groups focused on the mobility of culture workers around a theme of &amp;lsquo;creative resistance&amp;rsquo; because there are not many occasions for networks at the intersection of arts and social justice to get together and discuss common issues and consider their synergies.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Abazar Hamid</title><link>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/abazar-hamid/</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/abazar-hamid/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://freedimensional.org/about/case-studies/abazar/"&gt;&lt;img src="https://fd.tllester.info/freedimensional/images/abazar-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="abazar"&gt;
&lt;/a&gt;We met Abazar Hamid, a peace singer from Darfur, when he was nominated to freeDimensional by FREEMUSE. His recent album was censored and related threats drove him to move his family to Cairo. Cairo is a city with hundreds of thousands of Sudanese living in exile, so it was only natural for Abazar to want to perform. There was one small hitch: he needed his work permit before he could perform, and he needed the proceeds from performance before he could afford his work permit. With a small grant of 200 USD, freeDimensional was able to empower Abazar to do the work that he loves in a new setting, and the local art space was helpful in arranging his first performances. Based on this experience, the idea for a &lt;a href="http://freedimensional.org/services/distress-services/creative-resistance-fund/"&gt;Creative Resistance Fund&lt;/a&gt; started taking shape.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Chaw ei Thein</title><link>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/chaw-ei-thein/</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/chaw-ei-thein/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://freedimensional.org/about/case-studies/chaw/"&gt;&lt;img src="https://fd.tllester.info/freedimensional/images/chaw-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="chaw"&gt;
&lt;/a&gt;After she left Burma and filed for political asylum in a new country, freeDimensional began sharing contacts and information with Chaw ei Thein. This dialogue resulted in paid speaking engagements, interaction with universities and media, support on residency applications, and a weekend strategy-building retreat at a partner art space. freeDimensional relies on a global network of art spaces, human rights organizations, social services and concerned individuals at the local level to help newcomers acclimate and continue their work in a new setting. freeDimensional performs a &lt;a href="http://freedimensional.org/services/distress-services/community-resource-mapping/"&gt;Resource Mapping&lt;/a&gt; function as the first step for all applicants to its services. When Creative Safe Haven nor the Creative Resistance Fund offer the exact solution for an applicant, freeDimensional may tailor an orientation and resource identification period for a culture worker-in-distress in their new location.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Community Resource Mapping</title><link>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/community-resource-mapping/</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/community-resource-mapping/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;freeDimensional’s Distress Services typically work in concert with a wide range of partners from international human rights organizations to community groups. No two cases are alike. freeDimensional adds unique value to the cases it helps through its network of art spaces, themselves centers of knowledge about the resources in their community, and through its ability to interface with human rights organizations that are not always predisposed to respond to culture workers doing activist work. Organizations that help academics (&lt;a href="http://scholarsatrisk.nyu.edu/"&gt;Scholars at Risk&lt;/a&gt;), musicians (&lt;a href="http://www.freemuse.org"&gt;FREEMUSE&lt;/a&gt;), writers (&lt;a href="http://www.pen.org/"&gt;PEN&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.icorn.org/"&gt;ICORN&lt;/a&gt;), journalists (&lt;a href="http://www.cpj.org/"&gt;Committee to Protect Journalists&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.rsf.org/"&gt;Reporters Without Borders&lt;/a&gt;, and the &lt;a href="http://www.rorypecktrust.org/"&gt;Rory Peck Trust&lt;/a&gt;), and artists (&lt;a href="http://www.artmovesafrica.org/"&gt;Art Moves Africa&lt;/a&gt;) know about our services and routinely reach out to us to either nominate an individual their organization has assisted or to pass along a case that falls outside their mandate to assist. Sometimes freeDimensional is the lead organization on a case, while other times we add value to another organization’s assistance strategy. In all instances we engage in a process of resource mapping, a process that always includes a local art space. Typical action steps include outreach to artist residencies that would be appropriate for a short-term safe haven; nominations and referrals to academic programs or other safe haven organizations such as the &lt;a href="http://www.icorn.org"&gt;International Cities of Refuge Network&lt;/a&gt;; strategic introductions to funding organizations; coordinating solidarity visits from other culture workers and concerned individuals to meet with the stakeholder; and outreach to social assistance such as refugee, legal aid, and psycho-social services. Even when Creative Safe Haven and Creative Resistance Fund are not the right fit for a case nominated to freeDimensional, we try to help by providing crucial information and contacts. Recently, freeDimensional raised financial support and facilitated access to psycho-social services for a well-known theater personality, &lt;a href="http://www.ietm.org/?p=information&amp;amp;q=newsdetail&amp;amp;id=425"&gt;Alam Zeb&lt;/a&gt;, who fled Pakistan to Malaysia with 5 family members after he was abducted by the Taliban and forced to publicly renounce his career as an actor.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Creative Resistance Fund</title><link>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/creative-resistance-fund/</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/creative-resistance-fund/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://fd.tllester.info/creativeresistancefund/" title="Go to the Fund's website"&gt;Go to the Fund&amp;rsquo;s website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Creative Resistance Fund provides small distress grants to people in danger due to their use of creativity to fight injustice. The fund may be used to evacuate a dangerous situation; to cover living expenses while weighing long-term options for safety; or to act on a strategic opportunity to affect social change. The first round of grants was underwritten by &lt;a href="http://www.freedomtocreate.com"&gt;Freedom to Create&lt;/a&gt;. The Fund works with the Festival Against Censorship in Bilbao, Spain to make one travel and accommodation grant annually. The first monetary award was made in June 2010 to Kianoush Ramezani (see Kainoush&amp;rsquo;s drawing, above), Iranian cartoonist and chronicler of the Green Movement. &lt;a href="http://www.rsf.org"&gt;Reporters sans Frontières&lt;/a&gt; notified freeDimensional that Ramezani was stuck in Paris without a place to sleep as he awaited political asylum status.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Creative Safe Haven</title><link>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/creative-safe-haven/</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/creative-safe-haven/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Individuals seeking Creative Safe Haven (or their nominators) are required to complete our intake form. This enables us to better understand the case and determine if we can be of assistance. Due to a high case volume, the typical time needed to assess a case ranges from 1 to 3 weeks. Unfortunately, we are not able to take up every case that we learn about.

&lt;/a&gt;After he fled Cameroon, freeDimensional helped Issa Nyaphaga gain placement in a series of artist residencies while he adjusted to life in exile. Today, Issa runs an indigenous rights organization and continues to produce critical art about critical issues. freeDimensional relies on a global network of art spaces to help its stakeholders access local resources and provide safe haven when they arrive in a new community.

The Creative Resistance Fund goes one step further by providing small distress grants to people in danger due to their use of creativity to fight injustice. In the first five years we steeped ourselves in the artist residency model in order to develop Creative Safe Haven. Over the next five years, we will build capacity to implement the Creative Safe Haven service amongst the intersecting networks on which we have relied in our first stage. At the same time we are learning all we can about rapid response, emergency distress funds in order to grow the Creative Resistance Fund, another service with potential to bridge the arts community and human rights sector.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Get Involved</title><link>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/get-involved/</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/get-involved/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;After ten years of direct service, freeDimensional is now supporting the development of other service providers and resources to the field.  Our website provides links to relevant resources and service providers and we continue to raise awareness about both the challenges and the resources for artists in distress.

&lt;p&gt;From 2002-03, Todd managed a project with American University’s Center for Global Peace that strove to organize and facilitate cross-border taskforces for Turkish, Armenian and Azerbaijani NGOs and municipal leaders. In light of the fact that they could never convene all the community leaders in one of their own countries, a colleague, Diana Fakiola had the idea to invite them to her family’s farm on the island of Tzia in Greece. Todd was inspired that all it took was going swimming together and sitting in lawn chairs around a fire to transform decades-old-hostilities into manageable negotiations that could be resolved in a mutually beneficial manner. The idea of ’hosting’ – which is foundational to freeDimensional – started taking shape.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Network Support</title><link>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/network-support/</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/network-support/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;freeDimensional is a decentralized organization that recognizes the power of strategic partnerships throughout its work. In order to stay abreast of global issues and instances of censorship, freeDimensional has established regional hubs in New York City, São Paulo, Berlin, Cairo and at two sites in India. Rather than a top-down imposition of values and programs, freeDimensional works with local civil society groups, social movements, arts organizations, schools and independent media outlets to build meaningful grassroots programs. freeDimensional is powered by the energy of its members, many of whom volunteer their time and resources to further its work.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Outreach &amp; Public Programs</title><link>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/outreach-public-programs/</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/outreach-public-programs/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Our programs: {list}&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Partners</title><link>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/partners/</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://fd.tllester.info/pages/partners/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://fd.tllester.info/freedimensional/images/Residency-Unlimited_logo1.png" alt="" title="Residency Unlimited_logo"&gt;
