We believe that teaming up artists and doctors as partners will create more space towards healing and wellness in black and brown communities.
Medicinally together. Traditionally one. Conversations on the art of healing and teamwork is a roundtable, kitchen-like conversation about ancient medicines that live deep in the body and can be accessed through an active and ongoing mediation of art and science. How can we build artist and doctor relationships that promote health in black and brown communities? Our conversations will be with the inimitable author Christina Sharpe, architect Jerome Haferd, artist and somatic practitioner Makeda Lily Love-Roney, choreographer/director nia love, poet Nzingha Tyehemba, and physician and rheumatologist Dr. Shante Hinson. We want to better address the divide among art, science, and healing.
Join us for this gathering as we move into the powers of art as medicine.
