"Wounded Healers"—Overcoming by Word of Our Testimonies

Please join us on February 13, 3–5 p.m., in Founders Hall Auditorium for an award-winning performance and workshop "Wounded Healers:" Overcoming by Word of Our Testimonies.

This spoken-word performance addresses historical trauma and creative resilience, focusing on five movements/historical periods that function as a chronology of Black bodies grappling with racialized trauma in America. A post-performance discussion is offered for audience members to engage in reflection and critical discourse with the writer, and performers. Drawing upon experiential education models for reflection, this discussion aims to inform audiences about the wounded healing process by better understanding the history and connection between structural racism, body trauma, and self-healing.
