Reparations is to Justice as Art is to Freedom: Linking Healing and Creativity

Join us for an interactive exploration of the importance of reparations for justice and art for freedom.

We are in the midst of a racial reckoning, complete with footage that makes apparent the need for repair. Throughout the country, there are small and large efforts to chart a path towards justice, which requires reparations. But what happens after we have repaired the past? How can we envision a shared future?

This lecture explores how we can and must reckon with our troubled past, even as we simultaneously engage in the active imagining of a liberated future. There must be wealth redistribution that acknowledges the ill-gotten gains of inheritance, and there must be a deep and serious creative imagining of another world together. We will preview the forthcoming Pendle Hill Aiming for Freedom workshop (August 2023).
