More information can be found on the Transportation and Parking website.\nAbout the Exhibition  Esono Ebalé gained notoriety for criticizing the long-ruling\, oppressive government of his native Equatorial Guinea. After living in exile from 2011 until 2017\, Esono Ebalé was falsely imprisoned upon his return home. To call for his release\, artists from around the world began a virtual collective and social media campaign using #FreeNseRamon. Inspiring others to contribute their own art in support of Esono Ebalé\, the campaign culminated in his freedom in March 2018.\nThe Art of Resistance showcases artwork Esono Ebalé created prior to and during his imprisonment and original artwork created for the exhibition\, as well as the art by those who advocated for him during his imprisonment. \nThe exhibition touches on themes of human rights and freedom of speech\, as Esono Ebalé’s story and art implore audiences to see the right of expression as an essential human right. His work illustrates the dangers often faced by those who speak out against injustices.  The FedEx Global Education Center\, located at 301 Pittsboro Street in Chapel Hill\, is open weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.\nThe opening reception and exhibition are hosted by UNC Global and organized by the African Studies Center and Global Relations\, in collaboration with EG Justice. Additional support by the College of Arts & Sciences; Center for European Studies; Curriculum in Global Studies; Humanities for the Public Good Initiative; and the Institute for Arts and Humanities.
