Over // Under
by Lyndsey Scott / A-Rhodd
This anthem for collective liberation was co-created by Lyndsey Scott (a songleader based in so-called Iowa) and Anthony Rhodd (indigenous incarcerated author).
I was lucky enough to get to learn this from Lyndsey herself, and it has been resonating in me ever since.
Over // Under is an invitation to imagine ourselves beyond the carceral state into right relation, through brave connection, grief practice, the fire of forgiveness, and radical care. - Lyndsey
