Artists for Hope

February 7, 2025

San Jacinto College South, 13735 Beamer Rd, Houston, TX 77089

6 Degrees joined companies from the Houston area to presented an excerpt from “Testimony,” in support of Artists for Hope, a charity dance concert whose proceeds benefit Texas Charities. In 2025, Artists for Hope will gift all proceeds to The Dash Gordon Foundation.

"Testimony" (excerpt)

Original music by Composer George Heathco.

"Testimony" is an artistic response to the events surrounding the sculpture “Witness” by artist Shahzia Sikander: its origin and the silencing of Sikander's artistic voice through protests from religious group Texas Right to Life, and ultimately vandalism of the sculpture.
