Join The Healing Project and Parole Prep Project for an evening of collective reflection, healing, and storytelling. The program will begin with a listening session featuring an audio project developed in collaboration with Parole Prep Project, centering the voices and experiences of people impacted by incarceration.

Following the listening session, participants will be invited into The Healing Room, a gathering led by The Healing Project Choir. The Healing Room uses music, performance, and collective exchange to create space for reflection, connection, and participatory action. 

The Healing Project partners with individuals impacted by structural violence to create artistic works, collective healing spaces, and advocacy initiatives that drive narrative and systemic change.

Running from April 4 through June 28, 2026, The Warehouse is a collaboration between artist and writer Vic Liu, abolitionist organizer Mariame Kaba, and the Bedford branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. The project features more than two dozen new, full-scale paintings by Liu that cover the library's walls, transforming the public space into an immersive exploration of resistance, survival, and possibility.
