A Space for Healing with Samora Pinderhughes

Tuesday, March 19, 2024

2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Multidisciplinary artist Samora Pinderhughes will lead a thought-provoking lecture about the music, art, and collaboration behind his newest project called The Healing Project at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, March 19, in the Rockwell Pavilion at the M.D. Anderson Library. Pinderhughes is a composer, pianist, and vocalist known for addressing sociopolitical issues and heavy concepts, such as trauma, healing and grief, with compassion. He will share the expansiveness of the dynamic project, which was based on his interviews with those who have experienced or are experiencing incarceration around the country and involves sustained partnerships with over 50 artists working across various mediums. Pinderhughes hopes his work will spark meaningful dialogue about structural violence and help audiences chart their own path to healing. Attendees can take in voices and experience the examination of the interconnectivity of structural violence in our society. The lectur e is partly sponsored by the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts at the University of Houston.
