PLEASE NOTE THIS WILL BE A VIRTUAL OFFERING OVER THE ZOOM PLATFORM.

Make yourself comfortable in whatever space you’re in. Also use headphones for the best experience. You will not need to be on camera unless you wish to be.

HOMECOMING is an Afro-centric Sound Journey that brings forgotten ancestral narratives to life through a layered blend of historically recorded African-American music, improvised live sound.

Rooted in the power of the human voice and sound as a healing medium, this project offers participants a transformational listening journey that reconnects them with stories that have been lost for a long time.

Through the use of archival field recordings—church hymns, work songs, and a cappella pieces from the fields and prisons—paired with improvised soundscapes and guided meditation. HOMECOMING becomes a portal to the past, a space of deep reflection, and a call to collective healing. 

This offering is not a retelling of all Black experiences in America but rather a dreamlike meditation on voices that echo through time—voices that deserve to be heard, honored, and remembered.
