The Visions to Peace Project Presents “Let’s Get Free!”

Youths’ Performance to Address the Pain of Violence and the Hope of Healing

(Washington, D.C. – May 20, 2009) On Saturday, June 13, the Visions to Peace Project will present a free performance that explores violence against youth and celebrates the power of healing. The Visions to Peace Project is an Anacostia-based organization that supports youth-led action for safety and peace, rather than dependence on policing, prisons, and punitive policies. This spring, the organization offered a series of workshops in which youth meet weekly to discuss violence in their lives and use the arts as a tool for healing. Next month, participants will share their work in a production organized for the community at large. A brief discussion and open cast party featuring free food and door prizes will be held directly after the show to support continued dialog and community-building. The entire event will be held at CentroNía, an educational and family support center located in Columbia Heights, NW.
