Transformative Culture Project Presents "Bearing Witness"

Bearing Witness is a platform for our youth to tell their own story.

Come see short films by Boston-area high school students that give them the opportunity to explore the world through their own lens, including a mini-doc by summer intern, Isaiah Jean Fontaine, on the Boston Black Lives Matter movement. Stick around for live performances, DJ sessions and more!

This year we're also putting a spotlight on the bold ideas of community leaders, including TCP award recipients Nia Evans of Ujima Project, and Kendra Hicks, organizer, and candidate for City Council. Get ready to dance with a wrap up DJ Session by TCP Teaching Artist, DJ Troy Frost.

Highlights Include:

• Keynote address from Malia Lazu
• Emcee, Award Winning Artist Amanda Shae
• Youth Films and Storytelling
• Community Award Presentations
• Spoken Word Poetry & DJ Session

Now in its 10th year, Bearing Witness is a critical opportunity for our young people to tell their own stories. To bear witness is the act of giving evidence to confirm that the events happened, that words were spoken, that we were there. At such a pivotal moment in our community's struggle for racial and economic justice, the ability to shape and share one's own narrative has become essential.

Purchasing a ticket at any level, you are supporting our youth's creative power and a new generation of media professionals. Learn more at www.tcproject.org

Transformative Culture Project (TCP) harnesses the economic power of creative arts for youth and community development. We imagine a world in which artists and cultural creatives are celebrated and compensated for their role in imagining the future and connecting people. Bearing witness embodies this mission by creating and fostering community connection through art equity and economic empowerment.
