Rehearsing Futures Part 1: Life-Affirming Community Practice
About the event
Location: Whitechapel Gallery, Gallery 2, 77-82 Whitechapel High St, London, E1 7QX
& Online
Together with Healing Justice London and Kin Structures alongside artists and health justice advocates, this event explores how community responses through cultural and social practice become part of our life-affirming infrastructures. From community repair to radical storytelling, we explore how art activates our hope and radical alternatives and is a signifier of healthy and wholesome societies.
Chaired by writer & member of HJL’s core team Micha Frazer-Carroll, panellists include curator and artist Kwame Lowe (Kin Structures), poet and clinical psychologist Sanah Ahsan and André Anderson, Headmaster at Freedom & Balance.
This event is part of several large-scale discussions held by Healing Justice London that are taking place in the build-up to Rehearsing Freedoms – a month-long festival of community health and healing, cultural work and movement building – taking place between October and November 2023. This is the first of a two-part event ‘Rehearsing Futures’, which explores rehearsal of the futures we want to bring about. Part 2 is ‘Experiments in Imagination’ and will explore imagination as an essential tool for liberatory practice. The event will be held at Conway Hall on Thursday 13 July at 7pm BST.
