Meditation Mondays: Spirit in the Dark
​
February 19, 2024
12:15PM-1PM
​
​
Join us every Monday this February as we explore meditation as a practice in liberation. This 40-minute meditation session provides an opportunity for participants of any experience level to experience the soundscape of our exhibition, “Spirit in the Dark”, through mindfulness meditation practices. Sonically, lyrically, or instrumentally, many of the artists featured in the exhibit blur and transgress the boundaries between the holy and the profane, the sacred and the secular. Together we will engage in deep listening of the soundscape and contemplate the journey of Black Americans toward liberation. Register for the experience!
