The overall goal of this project is to help Detroiters, (and specifically black Detroiters) reconnect and create agency as we develop new music that encompasses the shared sentiments, stories, and emotions of surviving a global pandemic.
This project will run over the course of 5 months from May - September 2022. This provides us with the opportunity to begin the project in Mental Health Awareness Month during May and end during National Suicide Prevention Week in September.
Over the course of the entire project there will also be multiple opportunities for partnership with singer/songwriters, music producers, mental health professionals, and community members. If you would like to be considered for a partnership role, please use the pre-registration form link below to share that information with us.
