Still Standing is an 11 minute documentary made in collaboration with Samora Pinderhughes and South Bronx Unite during Samora’s 2025 Adobe Creative Residency at MoMA. It showed in February of 2026 at MoMA during a showcase of other artistic collaborations with city organizations (Brother Sisterhood Sol, Parole Prep, and the Fortune Society) and Samora Pinderhughes/The Healing Project.

The film traces the intergenerational work toward community determination of the land in the South Bronx, focusing on the old Lincoln Detox Center, newly acquired through a community land trust by South Bronx Unite/The Land Stewards. The Lincoln Detox Center was the site of a nonviolent takeover by the Young Lords and Black Panthers in 1970, birthing a revolutionary community health clinic, which operated for years until the building was later abandoned. Today, South Bronx Unite is renovating the building to create a center for (H)ealth (E)ducation and the (A)rts: The HEArts Center.
