Advocacy & Thought-Leadership
In FY21, Sing for Hope’s creative advocacy, leadership, and program design continued to drive the integration of the arts in policy and at global convenings on social change. In addition to continuing in our role as the Official Cultural Partner of The World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, Sing for Hope guided and produced the following summits and convenings:
Artivism: The Power of Art for Social Transformation
Sing for Hope partnered with Adelphi University and Gottesman Libraries / Teachers College of Columbia University to produce this weekly series of multi-modal events in which presenters share how the arts, research, and outreach programs transform society. The 2021 Sing for Hope Artivism Award was given to presenter Cynthia Tobar for her work on reframing the Hall of Fame at Bronx Community College.
Sing for Hope at CreativeMornings
With chapters in 220+ cities across 67 countries around the world, CreativeMornings is one of the world’s largest creative convenings. In FY1, Sing for Hope musicians opened CreativeMornings/NYC’s virtual gatherings with specially curated musical sections, highlighting the mission of Sing for Hope for an engaged audience.
Sing for Hope at University of Arkansas Reflexions Music Series
University of Arkansas Reflexions Music Series was conceived as a celebration of music, musicians, advocates, and audiences, and as a series of events that foster creative justice and diversity through opportunities to reflect, learn, grow, change and teach. Sing for Hope Co-Founders Yunus and Zamora were named the inaugural artists for the premiere events held virtually in 2021.
