Seeing Through Stone: Visualizing Abolition Exhibition
The Healing Project was proud to contribute work to Seeing Through Stone, a multi-sited group exhibition on view at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences, Santa Cruz Barrios Unidos, and San José Museum of Art in California.
Seeing through Stone is co-curated by Gina Dent, Rachel Nelson, and Lauren Schell Dickens. The exhibition is organized as part of Visualizing Abolition.
The Healing Project at Harvard University
Join us at Paine Hall for this 90-minute intimate musical performance in which Samora Pinderhughes and friends will introduce The Healing Project to Harvard and local communities.
Pianist-composer Samora Pinderhughes leads world-class musicians, composers, poets, and others in a new multidisciplinary work that explores the daily realities of structural violence, incarceration, policing, and detention in US communities.
The Healing Project creates artistic works, collective healing spaces, and advocacy initiatives in partnership with individuals impacted by structural violence to build a world based on healing rather than punishment. Samora Pinderhughes is a Harvard graduate student pursuing a PhD in Creative Practice and Critical Inquiry (CPCI) at the Harvard Department of Music.
This performance is part of a commission of the Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA) and was made possible with the support of the Johnson-Kulukundis Family President’s Fund for Arts at Harvard University. The Healing Project is part of Samora Pinderhughes’ residency at ArtLab.
Paine Hall is wheelchair accessible by ramp and elevator to the second floor. An accessible bathroom is also available. Special seating to accommodate wheelchairs requires advance notice.
NYC Release Event: "Keith Lamar: SWEET"
Join us for the world premiere of “Keith Lamar: SWEET”, a new single and film created by The Healing Project.
Written by Samora Pinderhughes, Keith LaMar, and Rafiq Bhatia (Son Lux), the single is the next step in an effort to halt the execution of LaMar; a poet, teacher, musician, writer and painter. He is also wrongfully incarcerated in the state of Ohio, framed for a prison riot. His current execution date is set for 2027, even though he has maintained his innocence for nearly three decades—all while being held in indefinite solitary confinement. The film was co-directed by Pinderghughes, Amanda Krische, and Christian Padron.
The event, free and open to the public, will feature a film screening and talk-back with the film co-directors and LaMar (who will call in for the discussion).
