From Personal Pain to Collective Power
Watch hip hop artist, academic & political campaigner Lowkey discuss his artistic practice, weaving together creativity, personal healing and movement building. In conversation with Sai Murray, he explores the power of music and creative expression to process trauma, critique injustice and restore agency to communities that have been marginalised.
This video was adapted from an event we ran in October 2021 as part of our Reimagining Masculinities programme). We create spaces to reimagine masculinities as one approach towards unlearning and healing from gender norms and patriarchal violence, running alongside our Survivor Support programme.
