Rehearsing Freedoms Festival Highlights

“Rehearsing Freedoms focuses on politicised health, healing, movement-building, arts and culture, centring the experiences of marginalised and ‘global majority’ people. Its title draws on the US activist-scholar Ruth Wilson Gilmore’s provocation to ‘rehearse the social order coming into being’ in order to build futures free from oppression” Catch-up on what happened last year in advance of a full film, currently in the works. You can also watch full sessions here. “Each session explores at least one of four key themes: safety, dignity, belonging, and life. Rehearsing Freedoms is the culmination of a broader two-year programme of community-led health and healing, which asks: ‘How can we root visions for radical and just health in safety, dignity, and belonging, in order for us all to live whole and flourishing lives? What capacities, skills, and strategies do we need to practise to help us get free together?’”
