Lily Hughes

Lily’s project, entitled TACTIC: Recipes for Survival, An Elders Dance History Project, is a creative leadership development and mentorship project. Through a series of intergenerational storytelling, movement, and resiliency-building workshops, participants will gather skills and knowledge from the lessons and dreams of elders so that young organizers and creative change makers do not repeat mistakes and reinvent formulas for winning justice. Lily believes that the better we can strengthen our connections to our elders, the better we can decipher the codes and interpret a path toward survival and justice. The project will culminate in the generative creation of an outdoor, site-specific performance and video.
