Therapy Session III
The Therapy Session showcase provides a safe space where people can come together to “feel good” and use hip-hop in its therapeutic form.
Originally used by people of color to tell stories of oppression, hip-hop is a tool used to bring relief through laughter, tears, and smiles - similar to what one would experience in a therapy session.
The Therapy Session series is more than just a music event, it's a movement that aims to inspire and uplift the community through the healing power of performing arts. From the very first event, many attendees and performers alike were moved to tears by the flawless and heartfelt performances of some of the greatest local emcees. The artists’ passion for the art form was palpable, and it sparked a desire in the hearts of many to continue the series and build on this legacy annually.
This year’s Therapy Session III will be a two-day event kicked off by a mental health panel discussion and writing workshop led by Endless Will.
Later that Saturday evening at Congress Social Bar, Durham’s favorite host and comedian, Bishop Omega, will host the Adult Night showcase, where grown folks can kick back and hear therapeutic tunes from some of North Carolina’s greatest independent hip-hop artists.
Once again on Sunday, Bishop Omega will host the family-friendly event for the community with 1s and 2s provided by our own DJ BeatSmyth. BrainSTEMology will host the Kid's Corner, where children of all ages can participate in the combining of Hip-Hop and STEM by creating molecular models of neurotransmitters based on the rhythms and cadence they hear. The event has something for everyone to enjoy.
