SOUL RESTORATION PROJECT

curated by pianist/composer Darrell Grant

How do we represent the things we care about? How do we ground ourselves to be fully present with the moment- with others? Darrell Grant and guest artists will join in devising daily rituals of shared artistic practice employing music, movement, poetry, visual art, reading and other artistic gestures to intentionally renew and re-consecrate our civic space.
