Bay Area-born musician and composer Samora Pinderhughes works across disciplines in The Healing Project to address the violence of the United States prison system. Pinderhughes, who has worked under the mentorship of playwright Anna Deavere-Smith, layers audio interviews and testimonials atop piano, vocals by himself and sister Elena Pinderhughes (also on flute) and spoken word by Bobby Gonz, a formerly incarcerated San Josean who has also performed with rapper Common. There will be a post-performance dialogue, “Envisioning a World Without Prison: Art, Abolition, and Healing.”
