Taina Asili’s Fever Pitch Pilgrimage is more than a performance—it's a powerful act of resistance and remembrance. This multi-day walk to New York City, culminating in a live performance, is part protest, part pilgrimage, and fully rooted in justice. In a recent interview with Chris Wienk, Taina shared insights into the motivation behind the project: to honor lives lost to police violence and to inspire transformative change through music and movement.
Asili and her team carried their message across miles, engaging communities along the way in conversations about racial justice, healing, and the power of collective action. The pilgrimage is deeply personal yet universally resonant—a fusion of activism and art that brings people together in shared purpose and hope. Fever Pitch Pilgrimage stands as a moving example of how artists can lead us forward.
Taina's Pilgrimage begins September 13 with a report back and the Capital District premiere of Fever Pitch at the Sanctuary for Independent Media on October 4th.
