Song On The Frontlines - Singing For De-escalation and Regulation in Protest
Workshop by Natalie Fasheh and Lili Robinson at Global Artivism Convening in Salvador, Bahia
How do we strengthen protests through song? In this session, Lili and Natalie, accompanied by members of Sumudna صمودنا , will share standout stories from some protests we were involved in, and key takeaways that can be applied in various protest contexts. We will especially explore singing on the frontlines for de-escalation, nervous system regulation, and coalition building across cultures and movements, in highly charged protest circumstances. This gathering will include participatory elements as exploration points into the insights we share!
