MISSION
Forgiveness Project is a collaborative and interdisciplinary inquiry into the idea of forgiveness built through community engagement and multi-artist collaboration. Forgiveness Project utilizes interactive and participatory performance strategies to instigate communities around the world to identify and interrogate the intersecting personal, political, and economic contours of forgiveness. Forgiveness Project further reaches a global audience through its website, which serves as an artistic and social platform for discussion, rendering, interpretation, and reaction to the complexity of this deeply human challenge.
…Forgiveness Project opens a window into the deeply felt experience of human pain and suffering and the roles that each of us play, simultaneously as ‘victims,’ ‘aggressors,’ and ‘bystanders’...viscerally and eloquently raising the question of what forgiveness means, might look like, and might take, personally and socially.
