‘Feeling Good’ is an art, sport, and civic singing project that invited fans to sing ‘Feeling Good’—the song made famous by Nina Simone—as an evolving video installation and live and remote singing event dedicated to amplifying the voices of athletes in women’s sport who search for equity and joy.
‘Feeling Good’ was organized by artist and Wall of Song co-founder Mel Day in collaboration with SJSU Institute for the Study of Sport, Society & Social Change and community partners from 2019-2022. Thanks to all who added their voices!
