Black Trauma and Healing Justice as a Liberatory Practice

In White Supremacy, Black Trauma and Healing Justice as a Liberatory Practice

Description

Join Cat Brooks and Alecia Harger for conversation and an artistic journey exploring the role trauma plays in the lives of Black people in America. Cat and Alecia will utilize research, art, performance, multimedia, and Healing Justice modalities to examine the pathways North American Africans chart to surviving trauma, how that trauma interrupts the building of thriving lives and liberation movements, along with the healing modalities necessary for the transmutation of that trauma into healing and action.
