Being/Becoming: The Act of Portraiture closes Saturday | | From left to right: Muse Dodd, i don't want to be seen, i want to be heard; Renee Cox, Mindset- Pura Vida; Marcelline Mandeng Nken, FLOODGATE; Holly Bass, (Photo by Alexandra Silverthorne) | | | Being/Becoming: The Act of Portraiture closes this Saturday November 12th. Don't miss the five newly commissioned works that artists Holly Bass, Renee Cox, Muse Dodd, Dominique Duroseau, and Marcelline Mandeng Nken created for this project. Artist-organizer Yacine Tilala Fall invited these artists to use portraiture as an action, a movement, and a physical experience to explore their own presence and questions like: What is visual emancipation? What does it look like? How do we radicalize Black visual language?
Our gallery hours are 1–6 pm Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Solyana is an aspiring cultural researcher and recent graduate of Smith College, where she studied anthropology alongside African studies. She has also just completed her postgraduate research at SOAS University of London, where she examined intersections between cultural production and national memory in post-socialist era Ethiopia. She is interested in African cultural production, collective memory, and articulations of lived experiences amidst social upheaval/change. For this internship, Solyana will be helping us with research and arts administration for our upcoming 2023 projects. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome! | | | Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) is a platform for collaborative and experimental artist-organized projects, dialogue, and advocacy. Artists curate and organize all of our programming—as an extension of their own intellectual research. Their projects can take many forms, from conversational dinners, exhibitions, field trips, film screenings, grass-roots organizing meetings, and installations, to lectures, performances, podcasts, publications, symposia, workshops, and more.
WPA books+editions is open online and in-person. Our gallery hours are 1–6 pm Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
