Tonight on Holding Space: Nikki Silva – The Creative Force Behind the Curtain
In this episode, I sit down with the multifaceted Nikki Silva—actress, director, musician, and founder of The Exceptional Pageant—to explore her journey through the arts and advocacy.
From her early days leading the reggae-rock band The Big Happy, opening for acts like Beres Hammond and Sublime with Rome, to her acclaimed role in Our Lady of Queens, which earned her a Best Actress nomination at the Chelsea Film Festival, Nikki's path is one of relentless creativity and purpose.
We delve into her latest immersive theater project, Down the Road, and discuss her upcoming debut album, produced in collaboration with Teddy Kumpel.
Beyond the stage and studio, Nikki shares insights into founding The Exceptional Pageant, a nonprofit celebrating individuals with developmental disabilities, and how this mission intertwines with her artistic endeavors.
Join us for a conversation that traverses the intersections of art, authenticity, and advocacy.
