The Action Lab Presents: An Evening with Ana Tijoux, John Forté, FELA aKUs TIc, and more special guests!

City Winery NYC Presents The Action Lab on December 8th at 7:30pm

The Action Lab is a strategy center for social movements that sparks political and personal liberation. It provides rigorous and joyful spaces for organizers, leaders and artists to learn, create, and strengthen our collective capacity to win.

It strives to build a powerful culture that lifts people out of the immediate and enables them to imagine their way to a more just future.

Among its programming is the Belafonte Initiative which builds on the rich history of artists, creatives, and culture-makers who have helped expand our capacity to imagine a world of freedom and liberation for all. Following Harry Belafonte’s commitment to activism and solidarity, the Initiative builds bridges to artists working to imagine more just societies.

Within the Belafonte Initiative is The Freedom Writers Songwriting Lab– an intensive workshop that gives young aspiring songwriters, singers, and emcees the opportunity to think deeply about the stories they want to tell and issues they want to explore, in partnership with musicians, producers, and activists. Participants benefit from the collaboration and support of world-renowned hit songwriter and superstar Ana Tijoux, John Forté, FELA aKUs TIc and alongside other experienced music producers in an environment that focuses on the craft and execution of songwriting through the lens of social justice.
