Art Share LA - 801 E 4th Pl Los Angeles, CA 90013

✨ Embracing Liberation 
Showcasing the Power of Art to unite voices and vision to inspire the Global Fight for Freedom and Justice.

The theme for PTAFF 2024 is "Liberation," a concept that resonates deeply with the core of our mission. Liberation is not just a word; it is a call to action. It is the fight for freedom, equity, and the dismantling of oppressive systems that have held too many back for too long. Our festival will spotlight the work of filmmakers, poets, painters, and writers who are courageously challenging the status quo, telling untold stories, and envisioning a world where liberation is a reality for all.

Congratulations to our 2024 Winners

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
