About
Note: content may not be suitable for all ages
Freedom is an audio mixtape of original songs, stories, poems, anecdotes, and spoken word pieces from folx living in the Niagara Region. Originally conceived as a piece to celebrate Emancipation Day, the recent global response to the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Nina Pop, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Tony McDade have awakened many people to the fact that Emancipation was just an early step in the fight toward true equality.
Marcel Stewart, project lead and Outreach Coordinator for Suitcase in Point explains, “Ancestral healing, generational trauma, intersectionality, defunding the police, all while celebrating the complicated, nuanced beauty of Blackness is what Freedom is about. It’s a community conversation about emancipation, and the human right to be free. And in the words of Angela Davis, ‘Freedom is a constant struggle’.”
