About this event
FIRST FRIDAY MUSEUM VISIT:
We will visit the Smithsonian American Art Museum Art to view the exhibit The Shape of Power: Stories of Race and American Sculpture which examines the role of sculpture in understanding and constructing the concept of race in the United States.
The exhibition brings together 82 sculptures created between 1792 and 2023 and ranging in size from palm-sized coins to monumental statues created from diverse media such as bronze, marble, shoes, paper, and hair.
Made by 70 different artists, these sculptures are displayed to allow for juxtapositions of historical and contemporary works that invite dialogue and reflection on notions of power and identity. American sculpture in its many forms also has served as an expression of resistance, liberation, and a vital means for reclaiming identity.
All museum visits start at 1:00 pm on the Takoma Metro platform near the elevator. We will take the first train after 1:00 pm. Please bring a Smartrip MetroCard.
