Join us at ArtLab for a screening and discussion of selected video works from Samora Pinderhughes and collaborators Christian Padron Gangitano and Saudade Toxosi.

Samora Pinderhughes (ArtLab artist-in-residence ’24-25) is a composer, pianist, vocalist, filmmaker, and multidisciplinary artist known for examining sociopolitical issues and fighting for change through his art. Celebrated as “…one of the most affecting singer-songwriters today, in any genre” by The New York Times and “a magical being” by Forbes, he is known for his honest lyrics, harmonic language, and vulnerable visuals. His ongoing collaborative work with The Healing Project, the organization he founded in 2014, reckons with the daily realities of structural violence and incarceration for communities of color in the U.S. Samora Pinderhughes is a Harvard graduate student pursuing a PhD in Creative Practice and Critical Inquiry (CPCI) at the Harvard Department of Music.

The Healing Project creates artistic works, collective healing spaces, and advocacy initiatives in partnership with individuals impacted by structural violence to build a world based on healing rather than punishment.
