Join us on Friday, April 12 from 6:00-9:00pm for Mutual Aid Project's performance of What Does A Harm Free Zone Sound Like? Part I, a music suite which explores the Four Pillars of Critical Resistance’s Harm Free Zone Framework (Prevention, Intervention, Transformation, Reparation), performed by Marshall Trammell (percussion), Tracy Hui (banjo and electronics), Nick Obando (alto saxophone and electronics). The suite consists of individual solos, parallel solos, collective improvisation and a recitation, and will be followed by a conversation with labor archivist Tanya Hollis.

This event is a part of Music Research Strategies’ Performing Political Education: Fighting Formations, a residency program inspired by the work of prison abolitionist organization Critical Resistance and their working framework of a “Harm Free Zone”, the historical process of building community autonomy and self-determination. The project will feature performances by Mutual Aid Project – Marshall Trammell (percussion), Tracy Hui (banjo and electronics), Nick Obando (alto saxophone and electronics) – with guest musicians and other collaborators. It will explore collaboration, improvisation and making music together as a methodology for transforming our ways of being together and creating an emergent community-accountability framework.
