Samora Pinderhughes | The Healing Project
Ticket price includes a drink
Multi-disciplinary artist, musician and activist Samora Pinderhughes spent 5 years deep in discussion with people around the US, hearing about their experiences healing from incarceration, police brutality and structural violence. From the fertile soil of these conversations has grown a multi-branch “Healing Project” including songs, films, museum exhibitions, and performances around the world.
Pinderhughes will make his Dutch speaking debut on the 150th anniversary of the abolishment of slavery in Suriname and the Dutch colonies in the Caribbean. He will present film and music work of the Healing Project and explore themes of abolition, community building and healing, and speaking truths in private and in public.
“The Healing Project is a project I’ve been working on for 8 years, and it’s my try at speaking directly to the many damages that our society’s systems of prison, detention, and structural violence do to people, and to the many beautiful, different and deep ways that people figure out how to heal themselves and others from the things that they go through, in spite of it all.”
