A first look at the immersive 6-acre art installation in Manhattan that explores liberty and equality
What does it mean to be American? That's the question a new immersive art exhibition in Manhattan seeks to answer. Called " Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US," this installation takes over 6 acres in Midtown East with massive screens sharing the voices of 50 Americans from across the nation. You'll hear their thoughts on democracy, liberty, freedom and unity. Path of Liberty is free to visit starting on May 15 with reservations available here. The exhibition opens as America approaches the 250th anniversary of its founding, which will be celebrated in 2026. The exhibition, hosted by the Soloviev Foundation, reflects a diversity of voices, each with their own backgrounds, beliefs and experiences. Even so, organizers said, one central theme emerged in interviews across the country: Being American is not defined by birthplace, religion or heritage, but by a shared commitment to freedom, equality and the pursuit of a better future. "Though the journey has not always been easy, history shows that each generation pushes us closer to realizing the promise of America," a press release from the Soloviev Foundation said. "This exhibition is a celebration—of who we are, how far we've come and the boundless potential of what we can achieve together." 'Each generation pushes us closer to realizing the promise of America.' At Path of Liberty, you'll be able to walk through winding paths dotted with large screens, each one showcasing photos or videos from the interviews. Explore remarkable personal stories of WWII heroes and learn about today's changemakers in larger-than-life visuals. Expect to leave with a deeper understanding of the country's past, present and future.
